The SUN for 1880.

The SUN will doul with tho events of tho
year 1880 in it's own fqshion, now pretty
we'll understood by everybody. From
January until December 81, it will be
conducted as newspaper, written in tho
English language, and printed for the
pcoplo
AS newspaper, the SUN believes in
getting all tho news of the world promptly,
aud presenting it 10 tho most Ineligible
shape-t Q shape that will ouable its read
ers to keep we'll abreast of tho ugo with tho
loast uuproductive expenditure of time.
Tho greatest interest to the greatest number
-that is, tho law controlling its daily
mako up. 1t now has circulation very
much larger than that of any other Aueri-
can newspaper, and enjoys un income which
it is at all times prepared to spend literally
for the benefit of its readers. People of all
conditions of life and nll ways of thinking
buy oud read the SUN; and they all derive
satisfaction Of some sort from its oolumns,
for they keep on buying and reading it.
1n its comments on men aud affairs the
Sun believes that tho only guido of policy
should be coASon sense, inspired by cenu;
inc Amcricasb principles und backed by
honesty of purpose. For this reason it is
and will continue to be, absolutely indepen.
dent of party, class, clique, organization or
interest. 1t is for all, but of none 1t
will continue to praise what is good and
reprobate what is evil, taking caro- that its
language is to the point mud plain, beyond
the possibility of being misunderstood. It
is uuinaucnccd by motives that do not up-
pear on the surface; it has no opinions to
sell, savc those which may be had by any
purchaser with t%o cents. 1t hates injus
tce and rascality even more than it hates
unnecessary words. 1t abhors frauds, pites
fools, and dcplores nincoWpoops of every
| species. 1t will continue throughout the
year 1880 to chastisc the first GLASS, instruct
tho second, und dscountcnancc tho third.
All honest men, with honest convictions
whether sound or mistaken, arc it's f lends.
Aud the Sun makes no bones of telling the
truth to its friends and about it's friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speaking.
hesc are the principles upon which the
Sun will be conducted during tho year to
como.
The year 1880 will bc ono in which no
patriotic American can afford to close his
eyes to public affairs. 1t il impossible to
oxaggcrate the Importance of the political
events which it has n store, or the necessity
of rcsolute vigilance on the part of every
citizen who desires to preserve the Govern
ment that the founders gave us. The
debates and acts Of Congress, the uttcranccs
of the press. the exciting contests Of the
| Republican and Democratic parties, now
| nearly cdnal i'll strength throughout the
country, the varying drift Of public scnti
mcnt, will all bear directly and effectively
upon tho twenty fourth Presidential cleo
ton, to be held in November Four gears
ago next November the will Of the nation,
as expressed at the polls, was thwartcd by
an abominable conspiracy, the promoters
aud bcnciiciaries Of which still hold the
offices they stole. Will tho crime of 1876
bo repeated in 1880? The past decade of
years opened with a corrupt. ex!ruvagnnt
and insolcnt Administration intrcnched at
Washington. The SUN did something
toward dislodsing tho gang and breaking
its powcr. The same men arc now iutrigu
ing to restore their loader ard themselves
to places from which they were driven by
the indignation of tho people. Will they
succeed? The coming year will bring the
answers to these momentous questions.
The Sun will be on hand to chronicle tho
facts us they are developed. and to exhibit
them clearly aud fearlessly in their relations
to expcdiency and right.
Thus, with habit of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs of life
aud in great things stcadfast purpose to
maintain the rights Of tho people and the
principles Of the Constitution against all
aegrrssors the Sun is prepared to write a
truthful, instructive. and at tho samo time
entertaining history Of 1880.
