1875. r’K.OSX’ECTTTSI 1875. OF THE CUICAG-O TRIBUNE. 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 ol free government, and ior a purified aud honest administration of National, Mate, and Municipal affairs. While giving to the Republican party a cordial and earnest support in all wise measures aud to all fit candidates, The Tbibumk will never be the organ of any Individual, . faction, or ism, nor wHI it cease to combat oppressive monopolies or fail to expose and’ i denounce ail Corrupt schemes for plundering the Treasury oi the people. It will wage ‘ perpetual war on lobby rings who prowl urouud the halts of legislation in quest of spoil. —' - Tke Recent KlsAcßinsig, ■■ - —_ - - - ■- . The recent elections, while inflicting temporary defeat on the Republican paity, havw j done great good in sweeping away fanatical am< side issues which embarrassed its Ire dom d action,rand in crushing out those baietui and corrupting influences known as “ Butler isms,” which poisoned the channels ol the public life. Purified, as by fire, of the evil tilings which had infested its garments, the Republican parly will enter upon tlve treinen- ; nous struggle oi lo7b will! renewed vigor lor the posses.ion oi tne Government and the shaping oi the policy of the nation when iteulers upon the second century of >ts existence. Perils of the Futwrei.. ' —TFe Democratic party, misinterpreting the real causes of their triumph.are ptotclaim- - -ing the result a • reac.ion” of the popular mind against the principles of Hie Republican party, and an indorsement of the iundameiital doctrines of tiie Democratic rarty, which i means Miiiale Sovereigntyand all that expression includes, Wneij that party obtains, poseasn.n oi the Government, under the resumed leadership of their Southern rightwing, steps will surely be taken in Congress to reluud the cotton vVar lux from the Federal ‘ '1 reasury, principle aud interest amounting to $100,000,000 or more. A bill will be passed ■ to compensate the I'emocr tic rtebels lor losses aud camages sustained by them while resisting the Union armies aud upholding and “sovereign” state right of secession. Aud lastly will come a demand for the value ol toe einuticiputed slaves, who, under me doctrine of State Sovereignly, are alleged id haye been uncousiiluiionally liberated. In the mean I time, wliaV wW become tri ih, rights aim iraadivm hi free tfiiiH pdaced under the absolute control ol their.old masters ? Against those perils to Hie future peace und weil!are ol lhe country all true Republicans must present a solid front against the danger. The Tribune’s Platibm. The Chicago Tribune’s position ou tlie leading measures now before the country may be condensed into iulo me following enunciations : As Agiicuiture is tiie basis ol National wealth, whatever policy benefits ttfat great interest, promotes tiie prosperity oi the wh >le country. I’ue c ist of transportation of > I tV esieru larm products to ioreign markets consumes half the selling value, aud the high duties levied special interests uoubies tlie retail price ol the goods received iu exchange lor the crops—tims bleeding and burdening me larmer until lie staggers from weakness uuderthe weight oi the load. Hence tlie chief cause of “hard times” among tanners. Keducliou of State aud Local Taxes. Tlie utmost reduction of all direct taxes must be insisted upcm b.y tlxe people.—. Within a lew years county, townsiiip, and municipal taxation has. euozeionsly increased, and become almost beyond endurance, throughout me Western Stales. Steps must be taken to retrench these expenditures, as well as those of Hie National Government, and, choke down tiie insatiable greeu ol the local tax-eaters, betureailitw surplus earnings o£ file industrious classes are confiscated by those tax-devourers. - ■ The Currency. Plenty of currency for ail the legitimate wants of the country, with Elasticity as to quantity, and Stability as to value by coutroverlibility iulo coin. Au end should be put to the continual fluctuations iu ’.he value oi the currency, which inflicts incalculable injury ou industry and enterprise, us it introduces an element of doubt aud uncertainly iulo all transactions, and makes business lillie better than gambling. II is a National disgrace as well us evil lor the monetary standard of values lu be kept iu vacillating and changable condition. ' IWo Repudiation. The Tribune will sternly combat repudiation of public obligations in the form of watering anu debasing the currency or any oth<r guise it may assume For every dollar omul which tne public crediiors may be cheated by unv form of currency dilution or repudiation Hi - people will sutler the loss of a hundred winch will result trom the destruction ot credit tlial will ail like a blight on State aud Municipal Goverume its as well as ou corporations aud individuals. Tne national credit must be maintained pure aud unsullied, aud, like tiie virtue oi Leasar’s wile, above suspicion. Ao IHore Subsidies or Bounties. Subsidies aud bounties of public lauds,money, or credit to enrich railroad-rings, run* steamsiiip comp uuies, oi luiuish capital to other corporations,are flagrant abuses of the powers ot Government, ano lent to promote coiruptiou, extravagance, aud peculation. The 1 kibune wili tliereiore in the iutura, as in the past, fight ait such scemes bl public plunder. T he general character of The Chicago Tribune is too well established to need recapitulation it is always inedpendeut aud tearless iu lhe expression oi its views. In its new* department it is'secoud to imue in the United Stales. The Weekly Edition contains a caretmly prepared summary of the news of tne week, brought duwu io tne hour of going to press. Literary,political, financial, social and agricultural topics will constitute, as heretofore, tending matures ot the Weekly Edition, and no pains will be spared to increase its attractiveness in those departments Ils market reports are unsurpassed, embracing all Hie iuiurmatiuu which l armors require fur the intelligent transaction of business, boln &s sellers and buyers. 4 he vV Esiny Tbibune is a large eight-pige sheet, of the same size as The Daily Tbibune, consisting oi hny-six columns ol closely-printed matter, and, as a lainily newspaper aud in >ts general make-up, is unsurpassed by any paper iu lhe laud.
