THE SUN FOR 1880.

&&6 ~ - ~ - Oss SSSS
The SUN will deal with the events
of the year 1880 in its own fashioIs
now pretty well understood by every.
body. From January until Decem.
Der 81 will be conducted as newspa-
per, written in the English language,
and printed for the people.
AS newspaper, THE Sun believes
| i'm getting all the news of the world
promptly, and presenting it in the
most ineligible 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 mum
| ber-tb is, the law controlling its
daily lke-up. 1t now has a circu-
latio very much larger than that of
any other American newspaper, and
epit an income which it is at all
time "epared to spend literally for
the tit of its readers. People of
all co tions of life and all ways of
think buy and read THE Sun: and
they 1erive satisfaction of some
sort columns, for they keep on
buying reading it.
In Il. mentS on men and affairs,

to be, absolutely independent of party,
class, clique, organization, or interest
1t is for all, but of none. 1t will con

probate what is evil, taking care that
its language is to the point and plain.
beyond the possibility of being mis-.
understood. 1t is unintiuenced by
motives that do not appear on the suf-
face; it has no opinions to sell, save
those which may be had by any purch
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 its friends.
And The SUN makes no bones of tel
ling the trnth to its 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 inl
possible to eXaggerate the Importance
of the political events which it has in
store, or the necessity of resolute Wig
lance on the part of.every citizen who
desires to preserve the Government
that the founders gave us. The de-
ances of the press, the exciting contest
of tl,n Do, hIico1, nn1 nnnlnopatio
parties, now nearly equal in strength
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, the pro-
m0ters and beneficiaries of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the
crime of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The
past decade of years opened with a cor
rupt, eXtravagant and insolent Adj
ministration intrcnched at Washing
ton. The Sun did som thing toward
dislodging the gang, and breaking its
power. The same men are now intri-
guing to restore their leader and them
selves to place from which they We're
driven by the indignation of the peo-
pie. Will they succeed? The coming
year will bring the answer to these
momentous questions. THE Sun will
be on hand to chronicle the facts as
they are developed, and to exhibit
them clearly and fearlessly in their
relations to eXpediency and right.
Thus with habit of philosophical
good humor in looking at the minor
affairs of life, and in CRATE things ii
steadfast purpose to maintain the
rights of the people and the principles
of the Constitution against all aggres-
sors, THE SUN is prepared to write
truthful, instructive, and at the same
time entertaining history of 1880.
