will be conducted as a newspaper, writ
ten in the English language, and print
ed for the people.
As a 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 we'll abreast
of the age with the least unproductive
expenditure of time. The greatest iu>
terest to the greatest number-that is,
the law controlling its daily make up.
1t now has a circulation very much
larger than that of any other American
newspaper, and enjoys an income which
it is all times prepared to spend liberal.
ly 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 buy
ing and reading it.
To its comments on men and affairs,
The SUN believes that the only guide
of policy should be common sense, iD-
spired by genuine American principles
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 continue
to praise what i, good and reprobate
what is evil, taking care that its Ian
guage is to the point and plain beyond
the possibility of being misunderstood
1t is uninAuenced by motives that do
not appear on the surface; it has no
opinions to sell, save those which might
be had by any purchaser with two cents
1t hates injustice and rascality even
more than it hates unnecessary words.
It abhors frauds, pities fools and de-
plores nincompoops of every species 1t
will continue throughout the year 1880
to chastise the first class, instruct the
second and discountenance the third
All honast uen, with honest convictions,
whether sound or mistaken, are its
friends. Aud The Sun makes nu bones
of telling the truth to its friends when
ever 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
impossible to exaggerate the Importance
of the political events which it has in
store, or the necessity Of resolute vigil
auce on the part Of every citizen who
desires to preserve the Government that
the founders gave us. The debates ard
acts of Congress, the utterances of the
press, the exciting contests of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties, now
nearly equal in strength throughout the
country, the varying drift of public
sentiment, will all bear directly and
effectively upon the twenty fourth Pres
idential election, to be held in Novem-
Der. Four years ago next November
the will of the nation, as expressed at
The polls, was thwarted by an abomiua-
BILE conspiracy, the promoters and bene-
fciaries of which hold the Offices they
stole. Will the crime of 1876 be again
repeated in. 1880? The past decade of
years opened with a corrupt, extrava-
CANT and insolent Administration en-
treuchcd at Washington. THE Sun did
something towards dislodging and
breaking its power. The same men are
now Intriguing to restore their leader
and themselves to places from which
they were driven by the Indignation of
the people. Will they succeed ? The
coming year will bring the answers to
these momen,ous 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 expedieucy and right.
Thus, with habit of philosophical
good humor in looking at the minor
affairs Of life, and in great things
sreadfast purpose to maintain the rights
of the people and the principles Of the
Constitution against all aggressors, The
Sun is prepared to write truthful, in.
srrpctive and at the same time enter
tanning history Of 1880.
