THE SUN FOR 1880.

The Sun Will deal with the events of the yeal
1880 in its own fashion, pretty well understood
BY everybody. From January l to December 81 il
viii be conducted as newspaper, written IL the
English language, and printed for the people
As newspaper, THE Sun believes in 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 abreastof the
age with the least unprodueIive expenditure OF
time. The 2, eatcst interest 10 the greatest num-
Der that's the law controlling its daily makeup.
IL now has circulation very much larger than
that of any other American newspaper, and enjoys
an income which ii is at all times prepared to
spend literally for the benefit of its readers Peo-
pie of all conditions of life and all ways OF think
ing buy and read The sun; and they all derive
satisfaction of some sort from its columns, for
they keep on buying and reading il.
In Its comments on men and affairs, The Sun
believes that the only guide of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose For
this reason il Is, and viii continue to be, absolute
ly Independent of party, class. clique, organiza-
cation interest. 1t is for all, but of none. 1t
will continue TO praise what il good and repro
bate what is evil taking care that its language is
10 the point and plain, beyond the possibility of
being misunderstood 1t is unnfuenced by mo-
tyes that do not appear on the surface; il has no
opinions 70 sell, save those which NAV he had BY
any purchaser with two cents. 1t hates Injustice
and rascaiity even more than ii hates unnecessary
words 1t abhors frauds pities fools and deplores
nincompoops of every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year lSsOto chastse the first Glass;
instruct the second, and discountenance the third.
All honest men, with honest convictions, wheth-
CT sound or mistaken, are its friends. And THE
Sun makes no bones of telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever occasion
arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which THE Sun
viii be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which patriotic
American afford to close his to public af-
fairs. 1t is impossible to exaggerate the import
ance of the political events which ii has in store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilance the part
of every citizen who desires TO preserve the gov
eminent that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts OF congress, the utterances of the press.
the exciting contests of the republican and dem
ocratic parties, nearly equal in strength
throughout thecountry, the varying drift of pub
lie sentiment, will all bear directly and effectively
upon the twenty-fourth presidential election, to
be held in November. Four years ago next No.
vember the will of the nation, expressed al the
polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspiracy.
the promoters and beneiciaries of which still hold
the offices they stole. viii the crime of 1876 be
repeated in 1885? The past decade of years open
ed with corrupt, extravaganI. and insolent adj
ministrarion iutrenched at Washington. The sun
did something toward dislodging the gang and
breaking its power. The same men are now in
trlgulng TO restore their leader and themselves to
places from which they were driven by the ndig-
nation of the Deople VIII they succeed? The
co ming year will bring the answers to these mo-
chronicle the facts as they developed, and to
exhibit them clearly and fearlcssly in their rela
tions to eXpedency and right.
Thus, with habit of philosophical good humor
in looking at the affairs of life and in great
things steadfast purpose to maintain the ri ghts
of the people and the principles of the corstitu-
ton against all aggressors, The Sun is prepared
to write truthful, Instructive, and at the same
time entertaining history of 1880.
