THE SUN FOR 1880.

THE SUN will deal with the events OF the year
1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January to Decem-
Der 81 1t will be conducted as a newspaper, writ
ten in the English language. and printed for the
people.
As a newspaper THE SUN believes in getting
all the news 1 the world promptly. and present.
ing it in the most intellieible shape-the shape
that will enable its readers to keep well abreast Of
the age with the least unproductve expenditure OF
time. The greatest interes. to the greatest num-
ber-that is the law controlling its daily make
up. 1t now has circulation very much larger
than that OF any other American newspaper. and
enjoys an income which 1t is at oil 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 SUN; and they all de-
rive satisfaction 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
common :; sense ,se' inspired BY genuine Amcri;
purpose. For this reason 1t is. and will continue
to be, absolutely Independent OF party, class,
clique, organization Or interest 1t Is for ALL but
OF none 1t will continue to praise what is good
and reprobate what is evil, taxing care that its
language is to the point and plain, beyond the
possibility Of being misunderstood. 1t is uninfiu-
enced by motives that do not appear on the sur.
face: 1t has no opinions to sell. save those which
may be had by any purchaser with two cents II
hates injustice and rascality even more than il
fools and depl ores nincompoops of evey species.

countenance the third. All honest men, with

telling the truth to ts friends and about Its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which THE SUN
will be c0niucted during the wear to come.
The year 1880 will be one In which no patriotic
