Daily Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1876-1884, 1880-07-24
the SUN FOR 1880.

THE sun will deal with the events of
the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
we'll understood by everybody. From JAM
uary until December 81 it will be con-
Quoted as a newspaper, written 10 the Eng
lish language, aud printed for the people.
As . newspaper, THE Sun believes in
getting all the news Of the world promptly,
aud presenting it in the most ineligible
shape-the sh pc that will enable its read
ers to keep well abreast Of the age with the
least unpr0ductive 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, aud enjoys an income
which it is ut all times prepared to spend
literally for the benefit Of its readers.
People of all conditions OF life and all ways
OF thinking buy and read He sun; aid
they all derive satisf .ction OF come Sol t
from its columns, for they K ep On buying
aud reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs,
| tn SUN believes that the only gu, " u
policy should be commoa sense, inspired
by genuine American pf1nclples ana
backed by honesty Vi purpose. For this
reason it Is, and will continue to be, abso-
lutely independent Of party, class, clique,
organization or interest. IL il for all, but
of none. 1t will continue to praise what
is good and reprObate what il evil, taking
care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being mis-
understood. 1t is uninduenced 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 injus tice and rascality even more
than it hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors
frauds, pities tools, and deplores nincom-
peops Of every species. 1t will continue
| throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
| first Class, instruct the second and discount
| tenance the third. All honest men, with
honest convictions, whether sound or MS.
taken, are its friends. And HE BUN
makes no bones Cf 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 be conducted during the
year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no
patriotic American can afford to close his
eyes TO public affairs. IL is impossible to
exaggerate the importance OF the political
| sity OF resolute vigilance Oh the part of
| every citizen who desiies to p, esefys the
Government that the founders gave us.
The debates and acts of Congress, the ut
terances OF the press, the exciting contests
Of the Republican aud Democratic parties,
now nea ly equal in strength throughout
| the country, the varying drift Of public
sentiment. will all bear directly and effect
| lively upon the twtnty-fourih 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 sn abominable conspiracy, the
promoters and benetciaries of which still
hold the Offices they stole. Will the crime
| Of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past dec
ade Of years opened with u corrupt, extrav-
agant and insolent Administration in
tlenched at Washington. THE SUN did
something toward dislodging the gang and
breaking It's power. The same men are
now intriguing 10 restore their leader and
themselves to places from which they were
driven by the Indignation Of the people.
Will they succeed2 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 clearly and fearlessly
in heir relations to expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit Of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs of
lie, and in great things q steadfast pur-
pose to maintain the rights Of the people
and the principles Of the Constitution
against ali aggressors, THE SUN is pre-
pared to write truthful, instructive and
at the same time entertaining history Of
1880.
