1875. PROSPECTUS 1870. OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE. The Leading Newspaper in the West DAILY, TRI-WEEKLY AND WEEKLY. .THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, under the guidance of its former editor, has resumed its old position at the head of Republican journals, and will do battle in the future for the’ true principles of free gorernment, and for a purified and honest adminbrtration of National,’ State, and Municipal affairs. While giving to the Republican party a cordial and earnest Support in all wise measures and to all tit candidates, The Tribune will never be the organ of any individual,' faction, or ism, nor will it cease to combat oppressive monopolies or fail to expose and denounce all corrupt schemes for plundering the Treasury of the people. It will wags perpetual war on lobby rings who prowl around the halls of legislation in queat of spoiD The Recent Elections. The recent elections, while inflicting, temporary defeat on the Repnblican paity, have done great good in sweeping away fanatical aud side issues which embarrassed its freedom of action, and in crushing out those baleful aud corrupting influences kuowu as “Butler’sms,” which poisoned the chasaels of the public Hie. Purified, as by lire, of the evil things which had infested its garments, the Republican party wiW enter’ Upon the doas struggle of 1876 with renewed* vigor for the possession of the Gover'inneut and thw shaping of tiie policy of the >tatiou> when itenters upon the seCoiideeutary of its exfistende'.- - , ■ ■’ ,_.t Perils ol* the Fwfcwrev The Democratic party , misinterpreting the real eausetrof their triumph .-we procliafm 1 -' ing the result "a '‘reaction'' of ihy popular mind against the pr!ueip4e» of thw Republican l party, and an indorsement of the fundamental doctrines of the Democratic: rarly, which. l means “State iSovereiguty,” and all that expression includes.

A bill will be passed l to compensate tiie Democratic rebels for losses and carnages sustained by them while- tmisV ing the Union armies and upholding and “sovereign” state right of secession. And lastly will coine a demand for the vaine of the emancipated slaves, who, uuder the doctrine si State Sovereignty, are alleged lo have beau unconstitutionally liberated. In the meau tirne, what will become of the rights and freedom of the colored race thus placed uuder the absolute control ot their old masters ? Against those perils to the future peace wad wellfare of the country ail true Republicans mast present a solid front against the danger.' The Tribune’s Platfom. 4 The Chicago Tribune’s position on the leading measures now before the country man be condensed into into the following enunciations : As Agiicuiture is the basis of National wealth, whatever policy benefit tftgt grpak interest, promotes the prosperity of the whole country. Thp cost of UauxsflprtatiQn, of Western farm products to foreign markets consumes half the celling vajqp,. and. the high, duties levied to subsidize special interests doubles tiie rqtail price of the goods received in. exchange lor the crops—thus bleeding, and, burdening the larmer until be staggers from, weukwess, under the weight of the load.- Hence the chief cause of “hard, limps” among farmers, ‘ * Reduction of State and Eocat faxes, • The utmost reduction of all direct taxes must he instated, upon by the people.— Within a few years township, and municipal taxation hpa enormously and become almost beyond endurance, throughout the Western States,. Steps must be taken to retrench these expenditures, as well as those of the National Government, and, choke down the insatiable greed of the local tax-eaters, before ail the surplus earnings of the industrious classes are confiscated by those tax-devourers. ■ __ The Curremey. Plenty of currency for all the legitimate wants of the country, with Elasticity as In quantity, and Stability as to value by controvertibility iuto coin. Au eud should be put to the continual fluctuations in the value of the currency, which inflicts incalculable iujury on industry and enterprise, as it introduces an element of doubt and uncertainly iuto all transactions, aud makes business little better than gambling.. It is a National disgrace as well as evil for the monetary standard of values to be kept in such vacillating and changable condition. No Repudiation. The Tribune will sternly combat repudiation of public obligations in the form of watering and debasing the currency or any other guise it may assume. For every dollar out of which the public creditors may be cheated by any form of currency dilution or repudiation the people will suffer the loss of a hundred which will result from the destruction of credit that will fall like a hlight on State and Municipal Governments aa well as on corporations and individuals. The national credit must be maintained pure and unsullied, aud, like the Virtue of Ceasar’s wife, above suspicion. Ne More Subsidies or Rouutles. Subsidies and bounties of public lands, money, or credit to enrich railroad-rings, run steamship comp auies, or furnish capital to other corporations,are flagrant abuses of the powers of Government, and tend to promote corruption, extravagance, and peculation. The Tribune will therelore in the future, as in the past, fight all such scemea ol public plunder. The general character of The Chicago Tribune is too well established to need recapitulation. It is always inedpendeht and fearless in the expression ol its views. In its news department it is second to none in the United Stales. The Weekly Edition contains a carefully prepared summarv of the news of tue week, brought dowu to the hour of going to press. , Literary, political, financial, social and agricultural topics will constitute, as heretofore, leading leatures of the Weekly Editiqn, and no pains will be spared to increase its attractiveness iu those departments Its market reports are unsurpassed, embracing ajl the information which farmers require for the intelligent transaction'of business, botli as sellers aud buyers. The Weekly Tribune is a large eight-page sheet, of the same aizo as The Daily Tribune, consisting of silty-six columns of closefy-priuted matter, and, as a family newspaper aud iu >ts general make-up, is unsurpassed by any paper in the land. The Tribune will be furnished during the ensuing year at the tollowing rates, payablo in advance, ALL POSTAGE BEING PREPAID by The Tribune Company: WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
