Newspaper, written in the English language,
and printed for the people.
AS newspaper. The Sun believes in getting
all the news of the world promptly. and pre-
senting IL in the most intulligible shape-ths
shape that will enable its readers to keep well
abreast OF the age with the least unproductve

ling its daily makeup. IL now hasa circula-
ton very much larger tnak that of any other
| American newspaper. and enjoys an income
which 1t is at all times prepared to spend lib

| In its comments on men and affairs. The
sun believes that the only guide OF policy
should be common sense. inspired by genuine

what is good, and rcprobate what Ia evil, tax;

plain, beyond the possibility of being msua
derstood. 1t Is uninfuenccd by motives that
| do not appear on the surface; 1t has no opinions
| TO sell, rave those which may be had by any
purchaser with two cents. 1t hates injustice
necessary words 1t abhors frauds. pities

honest men, with honest CONVICTIONS. whether
sound or mistaken, are lite iriapds. And The
Sun makes no bones OF telling the truth to It's
friends and about its friends whenever occa'
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The
