The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1879-11-26
THE SUN FOR 1880.


THE SUN will deal with the events of the
year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody From January
until December 81 it will be conducted as a
newspaper, written in the English language,
and printed for the people
As newspaper, The Sun believes In getting
all the news of the wcrld promptly, and pre-
sentlng II IN the most Ineligible shape--the
shape that will enable its readers to keen we'll
abreasto of the age with the least VnprOductive
expenditure of time. The sreatestlnterest to
the greatest number-that is the law control
ling its daily makeup. 1t now has a circula.
ton very much larger than that of any other
American newspaper and enjoys an income
which II Is at all times prepared to spend
literally for the benefit of its readers. Peo-
pie 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 col
umns, for they keep on buying and reading
In its comments on men and affairs, TIE
Sun believes that the only guide OF policy
should be common sense, inspired by genuine
American principles and backed by honesty
of purpose. For this reason 1t Is. and will
continue 10 be, absolutely independent of
party, CLASS, clique, organI cation, or interest.
II Is for all, but of none. 1t viii continue to
praise what is good and reprobate what is
evil, taking care that its language is to the
point and plain, beyond the possibility of
being misunderstood. 1t is unintuenced by
motives that do not appear on the surface; it
may
be had by any purchaser with two cents. II
hates injustice and rascality even more than
1T hates unnecessary wOIds. IL abhors frauds,
pities fools, and deplOres nincompGops Of
every SPECIES. It will continue throughout
the year 1880 to chastise the first-class instruct
the second, and discountenunce the third. All
honest men, with honest convictions, whether
sound or mistaken, are its friends. And The
Sun makes no bones of telling the truth 10 its
friends o. 4 about its friends whene yer occa-
GTn apIGa rnr nj aTT,G a.xIp,
These are toe principles upon which The
SUN will be C nducted during the year to
come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no patri-
otto American can afford 10 close his eyes to
public affairs, II Is impossible to exaggeTate
the importance Of political events which il
has In store, or the nee ssity of resolute vigil
ance on the part of every citizen who desires
to preserve the Government that the founders
gave us. The debates and acts of Congress,
the utterances of the press, the exciting con
tests of the Republican and Democratic par
ties, now nearly equal in strength throughout
the country, the varying drift of public sem
tlment, Will all bear directly and effectively
ypon the ty-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 promoters and benehcfarIes of
which still hold the Offices they stole Will
the crime Of 1876 be repeated in 1882 The
past decade of years opened with corrupt
e1ITdFaSdHt, anu lnSoleht Anul MS lrALlOu IN
trenched al Washington. THE SUN did some
thing toward disioding the gang and breaking
its power. The same men are now intriguing
to restore their leader and themselves TO
places from which they were driven by the
indignation of the people. viii they sue
coed ? The coming year will bring the
answers to these momentous questions THE
SUN will be on hand 10 chronicle the facts az
they are developed, and to exhibit them clear
ly and fearlessly in their relations to exaedi-
ency and right.
Thus with habit of philosophical good
humor In looking at the 1linor affairs of life,
and IN great things a steadfast purpose to
maI2taiu the rights of the people and the
principles of the Constitution against all az
gressors, THE SUS is prepared to write
a truthful, instructive, and at the sGIae time
entertaining histO ny of 1880
