THE SUN FOR 1880.

TIE SUN will deal with the events OF the
| year 1880 In Its own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January ]
| until December 81 It will be conducted as a
newspaper written in the English language
/ and printed for the whole people.
AS a newspaper, TIE SUN believes In get
| ting all the news of the world promptly, and
| presenting it in tho most intelligible 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 is the
law controlling its daily makeup. 1t now
has circulation very much larger than that
| of any other American newspaper, and enjoys
an income which It is Mt 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 THE SUN; and they
| all derive satisfaction of some sort from its
columns, for they keep on buying and read
ing It,
Sum 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 1t is, and will CON
tinue to be absolutely independent Of party,
| class, clique, organization, or interest. 1t is
for all, but Ofnone. 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 be had by
Justice and rascality even more than it hates
unnecessary words. 1t abhors frauds, pities
fools, and nincompoops of every species 1t
Will continue throughout the year 1880 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 THE
Sun will be conducted during the year to
come.
The year 1880 will he one in which no patri-
otto American can afford to close his eyes to
public affairs. 1t is impossible to eXaggerate
the Importance of the political events which
u has in store or the necessity of resolute Wig
ilance 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 throug out
the country, the varying drift of public senti.
ment, will all bear directly and effectively upon
the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to be
held in November. Four years ago next No.
vember, the will of the nation, as expressed at
the polls, was thwarted by an abOminable con-
spiracy, the promoters and benehciaries of
which still hold the offices they stole. Will
the crime of 1879 be repeated in 1880? The
past decade of years opened with a corrupt.
eXtravagant, and ins0lent In
trenched at Washington. THE SUN did some
thing toward dislodginP 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 Will 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 a 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
truthful, instructive, and entertaining history
of 1880.
