THE SUN FOR 1880.

THE SUN will deal with the events OF the
| year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January /
until December 81 It will he conduc ed as n
| newspaper written in he English language
| and printed for the whole people
/ As = newspaper, Tue Sun believes In get
/ ting all tho news of the world promptly, and
! presenting It In the most inteligihlr shape
| the share that will enable its readers to Keep
well abreast of the age with the least unrrO-
| ductive expenditure OF time. The greatest
| interest TO the greatest number-that Is the
| law controlling its daily makeup. 1t now
/ has a circulation very much arger than that
| of any other American newspaper, aud enjoys
| an income which u is at all times prepared tO
/ spend literally for the benefit of It's 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 IRON III
columns, for they keep on buying aud read
| ing II.
In its comments on men and affairs, THR
SUN believes that the only guide of policy
should be cumman sense inspired by genuine
| American principles and backed by honesty
of purpose. For this reason 1t s, and will con
! tinue to he absolutely independent of party,
| class, clique, organization, or interest. 1t is
| for all, but OfnOne. 1t will continue to praise
| what is good and reprObate what is evil tax
| ing care that its language is to the point and
plain beyond the possibility Of being misun.
| derstoOd. 1t is uninnueneed by motives that
/ do not appear on the suriaoe; 1t has no Opin.
! ions TO sell, save those which may be had 10y
]
Justice and rascality even more than il hates
unnecessary words. 1t abhOrs frauds, pities
fools, and nincompoops of every species. II
will continue throughout the year 1880 to
chastse the first class instruct the second, and
| discountenance the third. All honest men,
| with honest convictions, whether sound OF
mistaken, are its friends. And The sun
makes no bones of telling the truth to It's
| friends and about its friends whenever occa-
! sion arises for plain speaking.
| These are the principles upon which Tai
SUN will be conducted during the year tC
| come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no patri
| otic American can afford TO close his eyes tC
public affairs. II IS impossible to eXaggeratC
! the importance of the political events which
1t has in store, or the necessity of resOlute wig
ilance on the part of every citizen who desires
| to preserve the Government that the founders
! gave us. The debates and acts OF Congress
the utterances Of the press, the exciting cOn.
tests of the Republican and Democratic par
| ties, now nearly equal in strength Throughout
| the country, the varying drift of public senti
ment, will all bear directly and efIec lively upon
| the twenty-iOurth Presidential election, to be
| held In November. Four years ago next No
vember, the will Ofthe nation, as expressed al
| the polls, was thwarted by an abOminable con.
| spracy. the promoters and benehciaries Of
| which still hold the offices they stole. Will
| the or me of 1875 be repeated In 1850? The
past decade OF years opened with corrupt,
| eXtravagant, and insOlent Administra ion in.
| trenched at Washington. THE SUN did some.
! thing toward dislOdging the gang and break
| ing its power. I he same men are now in.
tripung to restore their leader and them.
| selves to places from which they were driven
| by the Indignation of the people. viii they
succeed? The coming year will bring the
answers TO these mOmentous questions. THE
| SUN will be on hand to chronicle the facts MS
! they are developed, and to exhibit them clear.
! ly and earlessy in their relations to expedi.
ency and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good
| humOr in looking at the minor affairs of life
and in great things steadlaSt purpose to
maintain the rights of the people and the
| principles of the Constitution against all ag-
| gress0rs, lHE SUN is prepared to write u
| truthful instructive, and entertaining history
| OF 1880.
