AS a newspaper, THE Sun believes.
in getting ali the news ofthe world
promptly, and presenting IL in the
mostintelligible shape-the shape that
will enable its readers to keep well
abreast of the age with the least un-
productive expenditure of time the
greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is, the law controlling its
daily makeup. 1t now has circu.
lation very much larger than that OF
any other American newspaper, and
enjoys an income which itzis at all
mines 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 derive satisfaction of some
sort from its columns, for they keep on
buying and reading it.
In Its comments on men and affaiB6S
THE Sun believes that the guidF6
policy should be common sense ina
spired by genuine American princi-
pie and backedky honesty of purpose. :
For this reason It is, and will continue
to be; absolutely independent Of party,
class, clique, organization, or interest,
1t is for all, but of none. 1t will con-.
tinue to praise what is good and re-
probate what is evil, taking care that
its language is to the point and plain.
beyond the possibility of being mjs-
understood. 1t is uninfiCeneed BY
motives that do not appear on the sur,
face; 1t has no opinions to sell, save
those which may be had by any purch1.'
aser with two cents. 1t hates Injustice
and rascality even more than it hates
unnecessary words. 1t abhors frauds.
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 mistaken, are it's friends.
And The SUN makes no bones of tel
ling the trnth to it's 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. 1t is iDi-
possible to exaggerate the importance
of the political events which it lras i'm
store, or the necessity of resolute vigy-
lance on the part of every citizen who
desires to preserve the Government
that the founders gave us. The de-
bates and acts of Congress, the utter
ances ofthe press, the exciting contest
of the Republican and Democratic

throughout the country, the varying
drifts of public sentiment, will all bear
| directly effectively upon the twenty-
fourth Presidential election, to be held
in November. -Four years ago next
November the will of the nation, as
| expressed at the polls, was thwarted
by an abominable conspiracy, ths>pro-
moters and beneficiaries of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the
crime of 1876 be repeated in 1880? Tho
| past decade of years opened with q cor
rupt, extravagant and insolent Ad-
ministratiOn intrenched at Washing
tom. THE SUN did something toward
dislodging the gang, and breakinp its
power. The same men are now iHtri.
guing to restore their leader and tken,-
selves to place from which they! wert
driven by the indignation of the peo.
pie. Will they succeed? The coniinp
year will bring the answer to these
momentous questions. THE Sun will
be on hand to chronicle the facts q,
they are developed, and TO exhibit
them clearly and fearlesslysin their
relations to expediency and right
Thus with habit of phifQsOphicl
good humor in looking at heminoI
affairs Of life, and In CRATE tlings q
steadfast purpose to maintafA ths
rights of the people and the principles
of the Constitution against all afkres-
sors, The SUN is prepared to write 9
truthful, instructive, and at the same
time entertaining history of 1880.
