Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1879-11-12
Tsae SUN for 1850.

The sun will deal with the events of the yea
1850 in its own fashion, now pretty wen under
stood by everybody. From January until De
cemhcr 81 will be conducted as anewspaper, writ
ten in the English language, and printed for thu
people.
As A newspaper, the sun believes in getting al
the news of the world promptly, and presenting
IL in the most intelligent shape-the shape that
will enable Its readers TO keep well abreast OF the
axe with the least unproductiSe expenditure OF
time. The greatest interest 10 the greatest mum
ber-that is the law controlling ITS daily makeup
IL nov has a circulation very much larger than
that ot any other American newspaper, and en-
joys income which Il Is at all times prepared Il
spend literally for the benefit Of its readers. Peo
ple Of all conditions Of life and all ways OF think
ing buy and read The sun and they all derive
satisfaction Of Some sort from lts columns, fol-
they keep on buying and reading IL.
In ITS comments on men and affairs, The sun
believes that the only guide of policy should be
| common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles aud backed by honesty OF purpose.
For this reason II is and will continue 10 be, alb
solutely independent OF party, class, clique, or
sanizaton or interest. IL is fer all, but OF
IL will continue 10 praise what is good and repro
bate what Is evil taking care that Its language IL
| 10 the point and plain, beyond the possibility OF
| being misunderstood. II Il uniniluenced by mo-
tives that do not appear on the surface 1t has no
opinions TO sell, save those which may be had by
any purchaser with two cents. Ii hates injustice
ana raSeality even more than II hates unnecessary
words. IL abhors frauds, pities fools, and de-
plO, nincompoopS of every species IL will con-
tinue throughout the year 1880 10 chastise the
first class, instruct the second, and discounten-
ancc the third. All honest men, with honest con-
victiOns, whether sound or mistaken, are its
friends. The sun makes no bones OF telling the
truth TO its friends and about its friends whenev-
er occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
will be conducted during the year 20 come.
The year lSS0 will be one in which no patriotic
American afford to close his eyes 10 public af-
fairs. IL Is impossible 70 exncgerate the import-
of Low haa
or the Necessity Of rcsolute vigilance on the part
of every citizen who desires TO preserve the Gov
CfTment that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts of congress-. the utterances of the press
the exciting contests Of Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, the varying drift of pub
lie sentiment will ali bear directly and effectively
upon the twenty fourth Presidential election 10
vember the will of the nation, as EXPRESSED at the
polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspiracy
the promoters and benetearies OF which still hold
the offices they stole. Will the crime of 1876 be
repeated in 1850! The past decade of years Open
cd with corrupt, eNtrnvagant, and insoent adj
ministration intrenched ut Washington The
sun did something toward dislodging the gang
and breaking it, power. The same men are now
intriguing 20 restore their leader and themselves
TO places from which they were driven by the in
dlgnatton OF the people. Will they succeed
The coming year will bring the answers to these
momentous questions The sun will be on hand
TO chronicle the facts as they are developed, and
TO exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their re-
lalions 10 eXpesieHcy and right.
Thus, with habit Of philosophical good hum
or in looking az the minor affairs of life and in
great things a stendfast purpose 70 maintain the
rights of the people, and the principles of the
Constitution against all aggressors, The sun is
prepared 70 write truthful, instructive. and at
the same time entertaining history of 1880.
