THE SUN FOR 1880.

understood by everybody. From January
until December 81 il will be conducted as a
newspaper, written in the English language,
and printed for the people
As newspaper, THE Sun believes in getting
all the news OF the world promptly, and pre-

American newspaper, and enjoys an income

thinking buy and read THE Sun; and they all
derive satisfaction of some sort from its col

In its comments on men and affairs, THs
Sun believes that the only guide of policy
should be common sense, inspired by genuine
American principles and backed by honesty
of purpose. For this reason it is, and will
continue to be, absolutely independent of
party, class, clique, organization, or interest.
1t is for all, but of none. 1t will continue to
praise what is good and reprobate what is
evil, taking care that its language is to the
being misunderstood. 1t is uDintiuenced by

Sun makes no bones of telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever occa-

These are the principles upon which The
Sun will be Conducted during the year to
come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no patri-
otto American can afford to close his eyes to
public affairs, it is impossible to exaggerate
the Importance of political events which it
has in store, or the necessity of resolute vigil
ance 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 SEN
timent, will all bear directly and effectively
