Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1879-11-19
THE SUN FOR 1880.

THE Sun will deal with the events Of the
year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January
until December 81 it will be conducted as
newspaper written in the English language
and printed for the whole people.
As newspaper, THE Sun believes in get
ting 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 unpro-
ductive expenditure Of time. The greatest in
terest to the greatest number-that is the law
controlling its daily makeup. 1t now has
circulation very much larger than that Of any
other American newspaper, and enjoys an in
come which it is Mt all times prepared to spend
literally for the benefit Of its readers. People
of all conditions of life and all ways of think
ing buy and read THE SUN and they all de-
rive satisfaction of some sort from its columns,
for they keep on buying and reading it.
In ts 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 will con-
tinue TO be, absolutely independent of party,
class, clique, organization, or interest 1t Is
for all, but of none. 1t will continue TO praise
what IL good and reprobate what is evil, tax
ing care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being misunder
stood. It is uninfluenccd by motives that do
not appear on the surface IL has opinions
TO cell save those which may be had by any
purchaser with two cents. 1t hates injustice
and rascality even more than it hates unncces-
sary words. IL abhor3 frauds, pties fools, and
deplores nincompoops of every species. IL Will
continue throughout the year 1880 to chastise
the first class instruct the second, and dscOun-
tenance the third. All honest men, with honest
convictions, whether sound or mistaken, are
its friends. And THE Sun makes no bones of
telling the truth 10 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 patri-
otto American can afford to close his eyes TO
public affairs. 1t is impossible to exaggerate
the importance of the political events which it
has in store, or the necessity of resolute vigi-
| lance on the part of every citizen who desires
to preserve the Government that the founders
gave us. The debates and acts of Congress,
the utterances of the press, the exciting con-
tests of the Republican and Democratic parties,
now nearly equal in strength throughout the
| country, the varying drift of public sentiment,
| will all bear directly and effectively upcn 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 promoters and beneiicarics of which still
| hold the Offices they stole VIII the crime of
| 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past decade of
| years opened with corrupt, extravagant and
| nsoIent Administration intrcnched at Wash
| ngton. THE SUT did something toward dis
| lodging the gang a1d breaking its power. The
| same men are now intriguing TO restore their
leader and themselves to places from which
| they we're driven by the Indignation of the
| people. viii they succeed? The coming year
| will bring the answers to these momcntous
| questions. TIE Sun will be on hand to chron-
| ice the facts as they developed, and TO ex-
| hibit them clearly and fearlessly in their rela-
tions TO expediency and right.
| Thus with habit of philosophical good
humor in looking ut the minor affairs of life,
| and in great things stcadfast purpose to
| maintain the rights of the people and the prin-
| cples of the Constitution against all aggressors,
| TIE Sun is prepared TO write a truthful, in
structive, and entertaining history Of 1880.
