The SUN for 1880.

The Sun will deal with the events Of the
year 1880 in its own fashion, uoR pretty
well understood by everybody. From
January l until Deccmbcr 81, it will be
conducted as newspaper, written in the
English language, and printed for the
people.
AS newspaper the Sun believes in
getting all the ncws of the world promptly.
and presenting it in tho most Ineligible
shape-t G shape that will enable its read
ers to keep well abreast of the ago with the
least unproductive expenditure of time.
The greatest interest to the greatest number
that is, tho law controlling its daily
m kc up. It now has circulation very
much larger than that Of any other Ameri-
can newspaper, and enjoys an iucome which
it is a, all times prepared to spend liber,lly
for the benefit of its readers. People of all
conditions Of life aud all ways of thinking
buy and read the SUN; und they all derive
satisfaction Of some sort from its columns,
for they keep on buying and reading it.
In its comments on men' and~>alfniIs tho
Sun believes that the only guide of polly
should be common sense, inspired by ge4-
inc American principles and backed
honesty of purpose. For tlis reason it's
and will continue to be, absolutely indcpa-
dent of party, class, clique, organization If
interest. 1t is for uIl, but of none. It
will continue to praise what is good ad
rcprobato what is evil, taking care that Is
language is to the pont and plain, beydd
the possibility of being misunderstood. It
is uninflucnccd by motives that do not b.
pear on the surface; it has no opinipnsto
SELL save those which may be had " any
purchaser with t"o cents. 1t hates lnius
ticc aud rascality even more tian it hates
unnecessary words. 1t uhhortfrauds, pities
fools, and depores nincompops of every
species. 1t will continue throughout the
year 1880 to ohastise the frs GLASS, INSTRUCT
the second, and discountcpnce the third.
All honest men, with hoest convictions,
whether sound or mistake, arc its friends
And the Sun makes no bncs of telling tho
truth to its friends aud about its friends
whenever occasion arissfor plain speaking.
These are the pripcip,s upon which the
Sun will be conducted during tho year to
come.
