THE SUN FOR 1880.

THE SUN will deal with the events Of the
wear 1881 in its own fashion, now pretty we'll
understood by every body. From January /
until December 81 il win be conducted IS =
newspaper, written in the English language,
and printed for the people,
As newspaper, The Sun helievesin getting
all the news OF the world promptly, and pre-
senting it in the most Ineligible shape-the
shape that will enable its readers TO keep well
abreast Of the age with the least unprOdnctive
expenditure of time. The greatest intercstto
the greatest nnmber-that is the law control
ling its daily makeup. 1t now has q cireula-
tion very much larger than that of any other
American newspaper. and enjoys an income
which il is al all times prepared TO spend
literally for the benefit Of its readers. Peo-
pie of all conditions of life and all ways Of
thinking buy aud read The SUS; and they all
derive satisfaction of some sort from its col
umns, for they keep on buying and reading
it.
In its 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 it is, and win
continue to be, absolutely independent Of
party class, clique, organization, or interest
| 1t is for all, but Of none. Ii will continue TO
praise what is good and eprobate what is
evil, taking care that its language is to the
| point and plain, beyond the possibility of
being misunderstood. Ii 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 II
hates injustice and rsscality even more than
it hates unnecessary words 1t abhors frauds,
pities fools, and deplores nincompoops OF
every species. 1t will continue throughout
the year 1880 to chastise the hrst-cass, 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 truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever ocea-
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which THR
Sun will be nducted 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 it is impossible to exaggerate
| the Importance of political events which il
has in store, or the necessity Of resolute vigil
ance 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 par
ties, now nearly equal in strength throughout
the country, the varying drift of public SEN
timent, will all bear directly and effectively
..pon 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 benehciaries OF
which still hold The offices they stole Will
the crime of 1876 be repeated in 1882 The
past decade Of years opened with corrupt
exsravagant and insolent Administration in
trenched at Washington. THE Sun did some
thing toward disloding the gang and breaking
its power. The same men are now intriguing
to restore their leader and themselves tC
places from which they were driven by the
indignation of the people. Will they sue
ceed2 The coming year will bring the
answers to these mOmentous questions TIT
Sun will be on hand to chronicle the facts as
they are developed, and TO exhibit them clear
ly and fearlessly in their relations to expedi'
ency and right.
Thus with habit Of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs Of life
and in great things steadfast purpose tC
maintain the rights of the people and the
principles of the Constitution against all ag-
gressors, THE Sun is prepared to write 0
truthful, instructive, and at the same tim'
entertaining history of 1880.
