THE SUN FOR 1880.


of the year 1880 in its own fashion,
now pretty well understood by every
body. From January until Deem.
ber 81 will be conducted as newspa-
per, written in the English language,
and printed for the people
AS a newspaper, THE Sun believes
in getting all the news of the world
promptly, and presenting it in the
most ineligible shape-the shape that
will enable its readers to keep well
abreast of the age with the least un.
productive expenditure of time the
greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is, the law controlling its
daily makeup. 1t now has u circu-
lation very much larger than that of
any other American newspaper, and
enjoys an income which it is at all
| times prepared to spend literally for
the benefit of its readers. People of
all conditions of life and all ways of
thinking buy and read THE sun; and
they all derive satisfaction of some
sort from its columns, for they keep on
buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs,
The sun believes that the guide Of
policy should be common sense in
spired by genuine American princi-
pie and backed by honesty of purpose.
For this reason it is, and will continue
to be, absolutely independent of party.
class, clique, organization, or interest.
1t is for all, but of none. 1t will con.
tinue to praise what is good and re-
probate what is evil, taking care that
its language is to the point and plain.
beyond the possibility of being mis-.
understood. 1t is uninfiuenced by
motives that do not appear on the sur

aser with two cents. IT hates Injustice
and rascality even more than it hates
unnecessary words. 1t abhors frauds,
pities fools, anddeplores nincompoops
of every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise
the first class, instruct the second and
discountenance the third. All honest
men with honest convictions. whether
sound or mistaken, are its friends.
And The Sun makes no bones of tel.
ling the trnth to its friends and about
its friends whenever occasion arises
for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which
The Sun will be conducted during
the year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which
no patriotic American can afford to
close his eyes to public affairs. 1t is ini-
possible to eXaggerate the importance
of the political events which it has in
store, or the necessity of resolute Wig.
lance Oh the part OF every citizen who
desires to preserve the Government
; that the founders gave us. The de
bates and acts of Congress, the utter.
ances ofthe press, the exciting contest
OF the Republican and Democratic
) parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, the VARYING
drifts of public sentiment, will all bear
directly effectively upon the twenty
fourth Presidential election, to be held
IN November. -Four years ago next
November the will of the nation, as
expressed at the polls, was thwarted
by an abominable conspiracy, the pro-
moters and beneticiaries of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the
crime of 1876 he repeated in 1880? The
past decade of years opened with cor
, rupt. eXtravagant and insolent Ad-
ministration intrenched at Washing
, ton. THE Sun did som thing toward
dlslodglng the gang, and breaking its
= power. The same men are now intri-
, gulng to restore their leader and them
! selves to place from which they were
driven by the indignation of the peo-
t pie. VIII they succeed? The coming
s year Will bring the answer to these
monentous questions. The SUN will
be on hand to chronicle the facts as
they are developed, and to exhibit
them clearly and fearlessly in their
relations to eXpediency and right.
Thus with a habit of philosopher
good humor in looking at the minor
affairs of life, and i'm CRATE things a
steadfast purpose to maintain the
rights of the people and the principles
of the Constitution against all aggres.
sors, The Sun is prepared to write a
D truthful, instructive, and at the same
time entertaining history of 1880.
