THE SUN FOR 1880.

TIE sun will deal with the events OF the
year 1880 In its own fashion, now pretty we'll
understood by everybody. From January 1
until December 81 it Will be conducted as n
newspaper written in the English language
and printed for the whole people.
As q newspaper, TIE SUN believes in get.
ting all the news Of the world promptly, and
presenting IT in the most intellgihle 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 It's daily makeup. 1t 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 tho benefit of It's readers
People Of all conditions of life and all ways of
thinking buy and read TIVE 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 1t is and will con-
tinue to he absolutely Independent of party,
! class, clique, organization, OF interest. 1t is
for all, but of none. 1t will continue to praise
| what is good and reprobate what is oviL TAX
| ing care that its language is to the point and
plain beyond the possibility of being mlsun-
derstoOd. 1t is uninhueneed 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
| Justice and rascality even more than II hates
unnecessary words. 1t abh0rs frauds pities
| fools, and nincompoops Of every species. 1t
will continue throughout the year 1880 to
| chastse the fret class instruct the second and
discOuntenance the third. All honest men,
| with honest convictions, whether sound or
| 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 be conducted during the year to
come.
| The year 1880 will be one in which no patri-
| otic American can afford to close his eyes to
| public affairs. 1t is impossible to exaggerate
| the importance of the political events which
it 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 throughout
| the country, the varying DRIFT of public senti.
| ment, will ali 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. viii
| the crime of 1879 be repeated in 1880? The
! past decade of years opened with corrupt,
extravagant, and insolent Administration in
trenched at Washington. THE SUN did some
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 a habit of philosophical good
humOr in looking Mt 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 n
truthful, instructive, and entertaining history
of 1880.
