that of any other American newspaper, and enjoys
an income which il is at all times prepared to
spend literally for the benefit OF its readers. Peo-
pie of all conditions of life and all ways of think
ing buy and read THE SUN; and they all derive
satisfaction of some sort from its columns, for
they keep on buying and reading il.
In its comments on len 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 continue to be, absolute

SUN makes no bones of telling the truth TO its
friends and about its friends whenever occasion

The year 1880 will be one in which no patriotic
American afford to close his eyes to public af-

did something toward dislodging the gang and
breaking its power. The same men are now in
triguing TO restore their leader and themselves to
places from which they were driven by the indig-

chronicle the facts they are developed. and to
exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their rela-

of the people and the principles of the constitu-
ton against all aggressors, THE sun is prepared
TO write truthful, instructive, and at the same
time entertaining history of 1850.
