'THE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, MECHANIC, THIANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, PROFESSIONAL MAN, AND THE FIRESIDE, PROSPECTUS FOR 1874, The coming yoar promises to be the most eventfulin a political sense that we havo seen since the close of tho war. The quostions which have engrossed and divided tho public mind during the past twenty yoars are rapidly passing away, and we And growing up in different parts of the country a party called by vari- ous namos---in California the Inde- pendent party, in Iowsa the Anti- Monopoly party, in 'Wisconsin the Roform party, in 1Illinois the Farmors’ Movement---having a com- mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting a strength which proves that it answers ono of the chief de- mands of the hour. The CHICAGO 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 orgamgza- tions are essentially corrupt and fraudulent. Having no longer any principles to carry into effect, thoy have bocome mere business enters prises, making a show-of opposition to each other, but reslly sharing in the proceeds of profligate and dis- homnest logislation, To suppose that any heslthful reform can flow from the pretended effarts of these worn- out and domoralized partnerships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That tho tariff’ system now in vogue is & cunning devico to rob the many for the benefit of the few, and. that its effect is to causo farm pro- ducts to exchange for about one-half the quantity of foreign or ¢ pro- tected?” goods they would otherwise buy. 3d. That railroads cannot exact mMONe ThEn @ ILIr rate oI 1NIerost on the capital actually invested in them, and that when, in addition to this, they claim dividends on watered stock and fraudulent bonds, the State may rightfully intorfore for the protection ot'the people ; thatunjust diseriminations betwoen different locelitios are in violation of law and should be prohibited. 4th. Thet subsidies or bounties o money, land, or public oradit. to railway; steamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of the powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangers to the people, end tending to promoto corruption, oxtravagance, speculation, and financial disaster. The general charpcter of THI CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too woell established to need recapitulation. It is always independent and fear~ less in the expression of its views. In its news department it is second to no paper in the United Statos. Theo Weelkly Edition contains a care- {ully prepared summary of the nows of the woek, brought down to the hour of going to press. Literary, political, finanecinl, so- cial, and agricultural topics will constitute, as heretofore, leading features of the Weekly Edition, and no pains will be spared to increase its aftractivoness in these depart. -ments. Its market reports aro uns surpassed, embracing all the infor- mation which firmers roquire for the intelligent transaction of busi. ness, both as sollers and buyers.
