THE OMICAGO TRIBUNE, czilcfifé?r“éw WEEKLY TRIBUNE. THE LEADING NEWSPAPER IN THE NI]RTHWEST. THE PAPER TOR THE FARMER, MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, { BANKER, - \ PROFESSIONAL MAN, “AND THE FIRESIDE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1874. The coming 'year promises to be the most eventful in a political sonse that we have seen since the close of tho war. The questions which have engrossed and divided the public mind during theé past twenty years are rapidly pessing away, and we find growing up in different parts of the country a party called by vari- ous nomes---in . California the Inde« pendent party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party,-in Wisconsin the Reform party, in Illinois tho Farmors’ Movement---having a coms mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting a strength which proves that it answers one of the chiof de- mands of the hour, - The CHICAGQ TRIBUNE will give a large share of its attention to this NEW MAN« IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT, It holds: 1st. That the old .party orgamza- tions are essentially corrupt and fraudulent, Having no longer any principles to carry into offect, they have become mere business enter- prises, making a show of opposition to each other, but really sharing in tho proceeds of profligate and dis- honest legislation, To suppose that any healthful reform can flow from the pretonded efforts of these worn- out and demoralized partnorships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff’ system now in vogue is a cunning device to rob tha many for the benefit of the fow, and that its effoct is to cause farm pro- ducts to exchange for about one-half the quantity of foreign or ¢ proe tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 8d. That railroads cannot exact more than a fair rato of interest on the capital actually invested in them, and that when, in addition to this, they claim dividends on watered stock and fraudulent bonds, the Stete may rightfully interfere for the protection of the people; thatunjust discriminations between different localitios aro in violation of law and should be prohibited. 4th, That subsidies or bounties of monoy, land, or public credit, to reilway, steamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of the powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangers to the people, and tending to promote corruption, extravagance, speculation, and financial disaster. The goneral character of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to need rocapitulation. It is elways independont and fear- less in the expression of its views. In its news departmont it is second to no paper in the United States. The Weekly Edition contains a care- fully prepared summary of tho news of the week, brought down to, tha hour of going to press. Literary, political, financial, so- oial, and agricultural topics will constitute, as heretofore, leading features of tho Weekly Edition, and no pains will be spared to increaso its attractiveness in these depart- ments, Its market reports are un- surpassed, embracing. all the infor-- mation which farmers require for the intelligent transaction of busiv ness, both as sellers and buyers. THE WEEELY TRIBUNE is a large eight-page shoot, of the same gize as the Daily Tribune, consisting of fifty-six colummns of closely- printed matter, and, as & family newspaper and in its general make- up, is unsurpassed by any paper in the land. % THE TRIBUNE will be furnished during the ensuing year at tho fol- lowing rates, payable in advance: WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
