THE SUN FOR 1880.

The Sun viii 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 he conducted MS a
/ newspaper written I'm the English language
| and printed for the whole people.
As a newspaper, THE SUN believes In get.
! ting all the news Of the world promptly, and
presenting it in the most intClligible shape
| the shape that will enable its readers to Keep
| we'll abreast of the aye with the least unpro-
| ductiye expenditure of time. The greatest
| interest TO the greatest number-thHt Is the
law controlling its daily makeup. II now
| has circulation very much larger than that
/ of any other American newspaper, and enjoys
an income which It is at 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.
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 It is, and will con
! tinue to he absolutely Independent of party,
| class, clique, organization, or interest. IL is
for all, but ofnone. 1t will continue to praise
| what is good and roprobate what is evil, tax
| ing care that its language is to the point and
| plain beyond the possibility Of being misun-
! derstood. II is uniniiuenced by motives that
| do not appear on the surface: 1t has no opin-
ions to sell, save those which may be had by
| any purchaser with two cents. 1t hates in
i Justice and rnscaltty even more than 1t 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 OF
| 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 TIE
| SUN will bo conducted during the year to
| come.
The year 1850 will be one in which no patrl-
| otic American can afford to close his eyes to
public affairs. 1t Is impossible to exHggerate
! the importance of the political events which
| II has in store, or the necessity of resoute Wig

| to preserve the Government that the founders
