THE SUN FOR 1880.

As a newspaper, The Sun bellows in get
ting all the news of the world promptly,
and presenting it in the most intelligibIe
shape-the shape that will cLabic its road
ers to keep well abreast of the age with
the least unproductive expenditure Of time.
The greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is the law controlling its daily
makeup. 1t now has circulation very
much larger than that of any other Ameri-
can newspaper. and e'joys an income
which it is at all times prepared to spend
literally TOR the benefit of it's 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 it's columns, for they keep OH buying
and reading it.
In it's comments on men and affairs,
The Sun believes that the only guide of
policy should be common sense, INSPIRED
by genuine American principles and back
ed by honesty of purpose For this reason
it is, and will continue to be, absolutely
independent of party class, clique organi-
cation, or interest. 1t is for all, but of
none. 1t will continue to praise what is
good and reprobate what is evil, taxing
care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being mis-
that do not appear on the surface; it has
no opinions to sell, save those which may
be had by any purchaser 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. It 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 telling the
II ruth to its friends and about its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speak
ing.
The year 1880 be one in which no patri-
otto American can afford to close his eyes
to public affairs 1t is impossible to exag-
gerate the importance of the POLITICAL
events which it has in store, or the necess-
ity of resolute vigilance on the part of
every citizen who desires to preserve the
Government that the founders gave Us.
The Sun will lie on hand t. chronicle
the facts M they are developed and to
exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their
relations to oxpedieney and right.
