the SUN FOR 1880.

THE SUN Will deal with the events 0
| the year 1880 in its own fashion, now prett
we'll understood by everybody. From Jan
uary until December 81 it will be con
Quoted as newspaper, written in the Eng
| lsh language, and printed for the people
As newspaper, THE Sun believes il
getting all the news of the world promptly
and presenting it in the most intelligibl,
shape-the shape that will enable its read
ers to keep well abreast OF the age with tn
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 Amer
| lean newspaper, and enjoys an income
which it is ut all times prepared to spond
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 OH buying
and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs,
THE SUN believes that the only guide OF
policy should DO common sense, inspired
by genuine American principles and
backed by honesty Of purpose. For this
reason it is, and will continue to be, abso-
lutely independent of party, class, clique,
organization or interest. 1t is for all, but
OF none. 1t will continue to praise what
is good and reprobate what is evil, taking
care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being mis-
understood. 1t is uninfuenced by motives
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
fraudsspities tools, and deplores nincom-
pOops Df every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
first class, instruct the second and discount
tenance the third. All honest mon, with
honest convictions, whether sound or mis-
taken, are its friends. And THE SUN
makes no bones Of telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever oc.
casion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which
THE SUN will DO conducted during the
year to come.
Tho 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 neces-
sity OF resolute vigilance on the part OF
every citizen who desires to preserve the
Government that the founders gave us.
The debates and acts of Congress, the ut
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 effect
lively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential
election, to be held in November. Four
years ago next November the will Of the
nation, rs expressed at the polls, was
thwarted by sn abominable conspiracy, the
promoters and benefciaries Of which still
hnl I'm off fhaxr oil fha ov.trv an
Of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past dec
ade of years opened with corrupt, oxtrav-
agant and insolent Administration in
trenched at Washington. THE SUN did
something toward dislodging the gang 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 succeedp The coming year will
bring the answers to these mQmentous
questions. THE SUN will be Oh hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed,
and to exhibit them clearly and fearle ssly
in heir.relations to expediency and right.
Thus, with habit of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs of
lie, and in great things steadfast pur-
pose to maintain the rights Of the people |
and the principles OF the Constitution |
against all aggressors, THE SUN Is pre- |
at tho Same time entertaining history Of
1880.
