THE SUN FOR 1880.

THE Sun will deal with the events of the ye
1850 in its own fashion, now pretty we'll unde
stood by everybody. From January l until ID
cember 81 1t will be conducted as newspape
written In the English language and printed ft
the whole people.
AS newspaper, TIE Sun believes in getting a
the news of the world promptly, and presenlin
it in the most Ineligible shape-,he shape tina
will enable its readers to keep we'll abreast of tn
age with the least unproductive expenditure Q
time. The greatest interest to the greatest mum
ber-that is the law controlling its daily makeup
1t now has circulation very much large
than that of any other American newspa
per, aud enjoys on income which it is at all time
prepared to spend literally for the benefit OF it
readers. People OF all conditions Of life and al
ways OF thinking buy and read THE Sun; and the,
all derive satisfaction OF some sort from its col
umns, for they keep on buying and reading it
In its comments on men and affairs, The Sun be
lieves that the only guide of policy should b,
common sense. inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose
For this reason it is, and will continue to be, abb
solntely independent of party, class, clique, or.
ganZation, or interest. II is for all, but of none
twill continue to praise what is good and repro.
bate what is evil, taking care that its language is
to the point and plain, beyond the possibility oil
being misunderstood. IL Is influenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; il has no opin-
ions to sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser with two cents. 1t hates Injustice and
rascaity even more than it hates unnec sary
words 1t abhors frauds, pites fools, and de-
plores nincompoops OF every species. 1t will
| continue drought the year 1880 to chastise the
first class, instruct the second. and dscountenance
the third. All honest men, with honest convic-
tons, whether sound or mistaken, are its friends
And The Sun makes no bones Of telling the truth
10 It's friends aud about its friends whenever &C.
casion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which THE Sun
will be conducted during the year to come
The year 1850 will be one in which no patriotic
American can afford to close his eyes ia public
affairs. 1t is impossible 10 eyapperate The i'm
