THE SUN FOR 1880.

THE SUN Will deal with the events OF the
year 1880 in It's own fashion, now pretty we'll
understood by everybody. From January /
until December 81 1t will be conducted as a
newspaper written in 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 Ineligible 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 1t is at all times prepared TO
spend literally for the benefit fits 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 1t.
SUN believes that the only guide of policy
should be comman sense inspired by genuine
American principles and backed by honesty
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 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-
deTstOod. 1t is unnfluenccd by motives that
do not appear on the surface; it hns no opin-
ions to sell, save those which may be had by
any purchaser with two cents. II hates In
Justice and rascality even more than 1t hates
unnecessary words. 1t abhors frauds, pitles
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 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
1t has in store, or the necessity of resolute Wig
lance on the part of every tizen 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 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 abominabe con-
spracy, 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 n corrupt,
extravagant, and insolent Administration In
trenched at Washington. THE SUN did some
ing its power. The same men are now in
triguiug 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 Mt the minor affairs of life,
and in great things n steudfast 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
