TIE SIN FOR 1850.


The SCS will deal with the events of
tue year 1850 in its own fashion, now
pretty well understood by everybody.
From January 10 December 81 it will
be conducted Is a newspaper, written
in the English language, and printed
for the people.
ASA newspaper, THE Sun believes in
getting the news Of the world prompt
ly, and presenting it in the most intel
ligible shape-the shape that will en-
able its readers TO keep we'll abreast of
the age with the least unproductive eX-
penditure of time. The greatest interest
TO the greatest number-that is the law
controlling its daily makeup. 1t now
has a circulation very much larger than
that of any other American newspaper,
and enjoys 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 think
ing buy and read The Sun; and they
all derive satisfaction of some sort from
It's 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, in
spired by genuine American principles
and backed by honesty of purpose,
! For this reason il is, and will continue
to be, absolutely independent of party,
class, clique, organization. or interest.
! IL is for all, but of none. 1t will con-
| tinue TO praise what is good and repro
/ bate what is evil, taking care that its
language is to the point and plain, be-
You'd the possibility of being lnisunder-
stood. 1t is uninfluenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it
has no opinions to sell, save those
which may be had by any purchaser
with two cents. 1t hates injustice and
raScality even more than it hates UNI

pities fools, and deplores nincompoops
of every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise
the first class, instruct the second, and
discountenance the third. All honest
men, with honest convictions, whether
sound or unsound, are its friends. And
The Sun makes no bones of telling the
truth TO its friends and about its friends
Whenever 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 patriotic American can afford TO close
his eyes to public affairs. it is impos.

part of every citizen who desires tC

acts OF Congress, the uterances of the
press, the exciting contest between the
Republican and Democratic parties
