THE sun FOR 1850

TINE SUN will deal with the events of the
L year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
well understood by everybody From january
until December 81 it will be conducted
"a newspaper written in the English Language
and printed for tie whole people.
AS newspaper, TIL. SUS believes in getting
all the news of this week promptly, and pre-
senting it in the most intellieihle shape--the
shape that will enable its readers to keep well
ARREST of the age with the least unproductive
expenditure of time. The greatest interest to
the greatest number-that is the law control
ing its daily makeup. 1t now has "A circu.sl
ton very much larger than that OF any other
American newspaper, and enjoys all income
which it is at all times prepared TO spend hber
ally for the benefit of its readers. People oi
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.
lii its columns on men and affairs, THE Sun
believes that the only guide OF policy should
be common sense, inspired by genuine Ailen
can principles and backed by honesty OF pnr
pose. Fog this reason it is and will continue to
be, absolutely independent of party, class
clique, organization, or interest. Ii is Tor all
but Of none.~ 1t will continue to praise what is
good and reprobate what is evil. taking care
that its language is to the point and plain, be
yond the possibility OF beng misunderstood
1t is uninhuenced by motives that do MT aI
sa7e those which may be had by any purchaser
with two cents. 1t hates injustice and rascal
ty even more than it hates unnecessary words
1t abhors frauds, pities fools, and depl,res min
compoops of every species IL will continue
throughout the year 1880 to cbastiset the first
class instruct the second, and diseOun tenance
the third. All honest men, with honest coll
victions, whether sound or mistaken, are lis
friends Aud The Sun makes no bones of tell
ing the truth to its friends and about its friends
henever 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 patri
otto American can afford to close his eyes to
public affairs. 1t is impossible TO exaggerate
the Importance of the political events it has III
store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance Oil
the part of every citizen who desires to pre-
serve the government that they gave us. The
debates and acts of Congress. the utteranees
of the press, the exciting contests OF the he
publican and Democratic parties, now nearly
equal in strength thro lghout the country, the
varying drift of public sentiment, will all bear
directly and effectively upon the twenty fourth
Presidential election to be held i'll November
Four years ago ne xt November, the will of the
nation. as expressed at the polls was thwart-
ed by an aboninablc conspiracy, the prolnpters
and benefciaries of which still hold the offices
they stole. Will the crime of 1876 be repeated
in 1880. The past decade ofyears opened with
a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent Admins
tration intrenched at Washington. THE SUS
did something toward dislodging. the gang and
breaking its power. The same men are now
intriguing to restore their leader and them
selves to places from which they were driven
by the Indignation of the people. Will they
succeed! The coming year will bring the an
swer to these momentous questions. The Sun
will be on hand to chronicle the facts they
are developed, and will exhibit them clearly
and fearlessly in their relation to expediency
and right.
Thus, with habit of philosophical good
humori in looking at the minor affairs of lite, and
in great things a steadfast purpose to main tain
the rights of the people and the principles of the
Constitution against all aggr-ssors The Sun
is prepared to write truthful, instructive,
and entertaining history of 1880.
