the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
Welt understood by everybody. From jan

Quoted Is a newspaper, written in the Eng
lish language, and printed for the people,
getting all the news OF the world promptly.
and presenting it in the most intelligible
shape-the sh ape that will enable its read
ers to keep well abreast Of the age with the
least unproductive expenditure Of time.
The Creates interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is the law controlling its daily
makeup. 1t now has circulation yery
much larger than that of any other Amer
lean newspaper, and enjoys an income
which 1t 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 reading it.
In Its comments on men and affairs,
THE Sun believes that the only guide Of
policy should be common sense, inspired
by genuine American principles aud
backed by honesty Of purpose. For this
reason it Is, and will continue to be, abso-
lutely independent of party, GLASS, clique,
organization or interest. 1t is for all, but
Of none. 1t will continue to praise what
is good and reDrobate what is evil, taking
care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being mis-
understood. 1t Is uninfuenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface: it has no
opinions to sell, save those which may bo
had by any purchaser with two GEMS, 1t
hates lnJustic and rascality even more
than it hates unnecessary words. Itabhors
frauds, pities tools, and deplores nincom-
| p0Ops OF every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chasiise the
first class, instruct tie second and discount
tenance the third. Ali honest men, with
honest convictions, whether sound or mis-
taken, are its friends. And THE SUN
makes no bones Of telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever oc-
casion arises for plain speaking.
These are the prlncIples upon which
The BUN 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. 1t is impossible to
exaggerate the Importance Of the political
events which it has in store, or tho neces-
sity OF resolute vigilance Oh the part of
every citizen who desires to preserve the
Government that tn founders gave us.
The debates and actsHof Congress, the ut
terances Of the press, the exciting contests
OF the Republican and Democratic parties,
now nearly equal in strength throughout
the country, the varying drift OF public
sentiment, will all bear directly and effect
lively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential
election, to be held in November. Four
years ago next November the will Of the
nation, as expressed at tile polls, was
thwarted by Sn abominable conspiracy, the
promoters and bsneiciaries of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the crime
Of 1876 be repeated in 1892 The past dec
ade Of years opened with corrupt, extrav-
agant and lnsolent Administration in
trenched at Washington. THE SUN did
something toward dislodging the gang and
breaking its power. The same men are
now intriguing to restore their leader and
themselves to places from which they we're
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 expsdieney and right.
Thus, with habit Of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs of
lite, and in great things q steadfast pur-
pose to maintain the rights Of the people
and the principles OF the Constitution
against all aggressors, THE SUN is pre-
pared to write truthful, instructive and
at the same time entertaining history of
1880.
