THE SUN FOR 1880.


THE SuN viii deal with the events Of the
year 1880 In its own fashion, now pretty we'll
understood by everybody. From January /
until December 81 II VIII be conducted as a
newspaper written in the English language
and printed for the whole people.
As a newspaper, TIE Sun believes I'm get.
ting all the news Of the world promptly, and
presenting II in the most intelligihle shape
the shape that will enable its readers to Keep
well abreast Of the age with the least unpro-
ductive expenditure Of time. The greatest
interest to the greatest number-that IA the
law controlling its daily makeup. 1t now
has circulation very mach larger than that
of any other American newspaper, and enjoys
an income which 1t is at all times prepared TO
spend literally for the benefit of its renders.
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 on buying and read
ing It.
In its comments on men and affairs, THE
SUN believes that the only guide Of policy
should be comman sense, inspired by genuine
American principles and backed by honesty
of purpose. For this reason IL is, and will con.
tinue to he absolutely 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 TAX
Ing care that its language is to the point and
plain beyond the possibility Of being misun-
derstood. 1t is uninhuenced by motives that
do not appear on the surface; II has no opin-
ions to sell, save those which may he had by
any purchaser with two cents. 1t hates In
Justice and rascality even more than II hates
unnecessary words. 1t abhors frauds, pities
fools, and nincOmpoops of every species II
will continue throughout the year 1850 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 truth TO its
friends and about its friends whenever occa-
sion arises for plain'speaking.
These are the principles upon which THR
SUN VIII be conducted during the year t.
come.
The year 1850 will be one in which no patri
otto American can afford to close his eyes tC
public affairs. 1t is impossible to eXaggerate
the importance of the political events which
1t has in store, or the necessity Of resolute Wig.

to preserve the Government that the founders
gave us. The debates and acts of Congress,

the country, the varying drift Of public senti.

the polls, was thwarted by an abominabe con-

the crime of 1915 be repeated in 1SS02 The
past decade of years opened with a corrupt,
extravagant, and lnsolent Administration In

thing toward dislodging the gang and break
ing its power. The same men are now in
triguing to restore their leader and them.
selves to places from which they were driven
by the Indignation Of the people. VIII they
succeed? The coming year will bring the
answers TO these momentOus questions. THE
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 to
maintain the rights of the people and the
principles of the Constitution against all ag-
gressors, The Sun is prepared to write a
truthful, instructive, and entertaining history
OF 1880.
