THE. SUN FOR 1880.

IHE SUN VIII zeal WITH Iile eNeitS
of the year 1880 in its own fashion,
now pretty well understood by every
body. From January l until Deccin.
ber 81 will be conducted as a newspa-
per, written in the English language,
and printed for the people.
AS u newspaper, THE Sun believes
in getting all the news of the world
promptly, and presenting it in the
most intelligible 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 num- |
ber-that is, the law controlling its |
daily makeup. 1t now has "a circu-
lation very much larger than that of |
any other American newspaper, and |
enjoys an income Which it is at all |
times prepared to spend literally for
the benefit of its readers. People of
all conditions of life and all ways of
thinking buy and read THE SUN: and
they all derive satisfaction of some
sort from its columns, for they keep on
buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs,
The SUN believes that the guide of
policy should be common sense in
spired by genuine American princi-
pie and backed by honesty of purpose.
For this reason it is, and will continue
to be, absolutely Independent of party,
class, clique, organization, or interest.
1t is for all, but of none. 1t will con-
| tinue to praise what is good and re
probate what is evil, taking care that
| its language is to the point and plain.
beyond the possibility of being mis-
understood. 1t is uninfluenced by
motives that do not appear OH the sur
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
ilance on the part of every citizen who
desires to preserve the Government
that the founders gave us. The de.
bates and acts of Congress, the utter.
ances ofthe press, the exciting contest

throughout the country, the varying
drifts of public sentiment, will all beal
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
moters 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 cor
rupt, eXtravagant and insolent Ad

ton. THE Sun did som thing tOwal
dislodging the gang, and breaking it
power. The same men are now intri
guing to restore their leader and them
D selves to place from which they wer
. driven by the indignation of the peo
pie. Will they succeed? The comm.
Il year will bring the answer to thes
e momentous questions. THE SUN will
r be on hand to chronicle the facts a
q they are developed, and to eXhibi
!. them clearly and fearlessly in thei
u relations to expediency and right.
