THE SUN 0 1880.

The Sun will deal with the events of the
year 1850 IN its fashion, HOW pretty we'll un-
derstood by everybody. From January |
until December 81, il viii he coLducted It's
IL Newspaper, written Iii the English lam
GuaSe, and printed for the people.
AS Il newspaper, THE SIN believes in get
ting all the news Of the world promptly,
and presenting it in the most IN el!isihl,
shape-the shape that will enable its Readers
To Keep well abreast of the age with the
least unpl oductivo expenditure OF time
The greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that Is, the law controlling its daily
makeup. 1t now has q, circnlttiun very
much larger than that OF amy other Amcri-
eau newspaper, and hjoys IN INCOME which
IT Is at all times prepared to spend hctaliy
ior the benefit Of its readers. People OF all
conditions OF lille and I'LL WAYS ef th.nkir :,
buy and read THE Sun; ana they all derive
Satisfaction of some sort from its columns,
1or they keep on buying and rcadingit.
In It's comments ON men and affairs, THE
SUN believes that the only guide OF policy
should be common sense, Inspired by gen, =
uine American principles and backed by
honesty of purpose. For this reason it is,
and will continue to be, absolutely indei,en
dent OF party, class. clique organization, or
interest. 1t is for all, but of none. Il will
continue to praise what is good aud repro

guage is to the point and plain, beyond the
possibility of being misunderstood 1t is
uninfineneed by motives that do not ap
pear on the surface; it has no opinions to
sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser with two cents. 1t hates injus-
tioe and rascalitv even more than it hates
unnecessary words. 1t ah'lors frauds, pities
fools and deplores nlncOinpOopS of every
species. 1t will continue throughout the
year 1880 to chastise the FIST class. Instruct
the second, and discorutcnance the third.
All honest men, with honest convictions
whether sound or mistaken, are its friends
And the Sun makes no bones of telling the
truth to its friends aud about its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speaking
These are the principles upon which TIE
SCN will be conducted during the year t.
come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no pa
triotic American can afford to close his eyes
to public affairs. 1t is impossiblc to eXag
gerata the Importance OF the political events
which 1t has in store. or the necessity of re
soiute Vigilance Oh the part of every citi
zen who desires TO preserve the Govern
ment that the founders gave us. The de

Of the press, the exciting contests of the Re
