The Sun for 1880.

THE Sun will deal with the events of
the year 1880 in it's own fashion, now
pretty well understood by everybody.
Fro n January until Deem Der 81 it
Will be conducted as newspaper writ
ten in the English language and prin~
ted for the whole people.
As newspaper, The sun believes in
| getting all the news of the world prompt
~, and presenting il in the most intelli-
| gible shape-the shape that will enab O
its readers TO keep we'll abreast of the
age with the least unproductive expen-
diture of time. The greatest interest n
the greatest number-that is the law Con-
| trolling it's daily makeup. 1t now has
circulstion very much larger thsn that
of any other American newspaper. and
| enjoys an income, which it is at all times
prepared To spend literally for the benz
eft of it's readers. People OF all condi-
tions of life and all ways of think ing buy
and cad The SIN; and they all oeriye
satisfaction of some sort from its columns
for they keep on buying and reading it.
III its comments on men and affairs
The San believes that the only guide of

by ge0uine American principles and

reason IL is, and will continue 10 be alb q.

the point and plain, beyond the possibi-

on the surface; it has no opinions To sell
save those which may be had b. any

And The SIM makes no bones of telling
the truth TO its friends and about its
friends whenever occasion arises for
plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which
The San will be conducted during the

The year 1880 will be one in VII ch no
patriotic American can afford to close
his eyes ID public affairs. 1t is iIhpossi-
bic to eXageTate the importance of the
political events which it has in store, or
the necessity of resOlute vigilance on the
part of every citizen who desire to pre-
serve the Government that the founders
gave us. The debates and acts of Cong
reSs, the utteranceS of the press, the eX-
citing contests of the Republican and
Democratic parties, now nearly equal in
| strength throughout the country, the
varying drift of public sentiment, will
| all BEER directly and 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 thwarteu
by an abominable conspiracy, the pro-
moteTs and beneficiaTieS of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the
crime of 1876 be repeated in 1892 The
past decade of years opened with a cor
rupt, extraYigaut, and insolent Admin
istration intrenched at Washington, The
San did something toward disloging the
gang and breaking its power. The same
men are now intriguing to restore their
leader and themselves to places rom
which they were driven by the indigria-
ton of the people. Will they succeed
The coming year will bring the answer
TO these momentous questions. The Sun
will be on hand to chronicle the facts as
they are developed, nd to exhibit them
clearly and iearlessly In their relations
to expo deny and right.
Thus, with 8 habit of philosophical
good humor in looking at the minor al
ialls of life, and in great things a stead
lac purpose to maintain the rights of
the people and the principles OF the Con-
stitution against AL aggressors, The Sun
is prepared to write truthful, instruct
