The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1879-11-21
THE STJN FOR. 1890

THE SUN will deal with the events of the year
1850 in its own fashion, now pretty well understood
by everybody. From January l until December
81 it will be conducted as 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 presenting
it in the most ineligible shape-the shape that
age with the least unproductive expenditure of
time. The greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is, the law controlling its daily makeup.
IL now has q circulation very much larger than
that OF any other American newspaper and en- joys
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 THE SUN; and they all derive salts
faction 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 only guide of policy should be
principles and backed by honesty of purpose
For this reason it is, and will continue to be- alb
soutely independently party, class, clique, organ
iZation, or interest. 1t is for 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, beyond the possibility of being
misunderstood. IL is unintlienced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it has no opin-
ions to SELL save those which may be had by any
purchaser with two cents. 1t hates injustice and
rascality even more than it hates unnecessary
words. 1t abhors frauds, pitics fools and de-
plorcs nincOmpOOpS of every species. 1t will con-
tnue throughout the year 1880 to chastse the first
class, instruct the second and diScountenancet 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 to its
friends whenever occasion arises for plain speak
ing:
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 impossible to cXaggerate the import
ance of the political events which it has in store
or the necessity of lutte vigilance the part
of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
eminent that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press
the exciting contests of the Republican and Dem
throughout the country, the varying drift of pub
lie sentiment, will all bear directly and effectively
upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to
be held in November. Four years ago next No
vember the, will of the nation, as expressed at the
polls, was thwarted by an abomnabe conspiracy,
the promoters and beneilcaries of which still hold
the offices they stole. viii the crime of 1876 be
repeated in 1880? The past decade of years open
ed with a corrupt eXtraya!gant, and insolent Adj
minstration intrenched at Washington. THESUN
did something toward dislodgng the gang and
breakilmg lts power me same men are now in
places from which they were driven by the indig-
nation of the people. viii they succeed? The
mentous questions THE SUN will be on hand to
chronicle the facts rs they are developed, and to
exhibit them clearly and fearlessIy in their rela-
tons to eXpcdicncy and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good humor
in looking at the minor affairs of life and in great
things steadfast purpose to maintain the rights
of the people and the principles of the Constitu-
ton against all aggreSSOrS, THE sun is prepared
to write a truthful, instructive, and at the same
time entertaining history of 1880.
