the SUN FOR 1880.

THE SUN will deal with the events Of
the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
well understood by everybody. From jan

| Quoted as newspaper, written in the Eng.
lish language, and printed for the people,
As . newspaper, THE Sun believes in
getting all the news Of the world promptly,
and presenting it in the most Ineligible
shape-the shape that will enable it's read
ers to keep well abreast Of the age with the
least unproductlve expenditure Of time.
The greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is the law controlling its daily
makeup. 1t now has circulation very
much larger than that Of any other Amer
lean newspaper, and enjoys an income
which it is ut 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 satisf action of some sort
from its columns, for they keep on buying
and reading it.
In It's comments on men and affairs,
THE 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 IL, and will continue to be, abso-
| lutely 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 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 be
had by any purchaser with two cents. 1t
hates injustice and rascality even more
than it hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors
frauds, pities tools, and deplOres nincom.
peops OF every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
first class, instruct the second and discount
tenance the third. All honest men, with
taken, are its friends. And THE SUN
makes no bones Of telling tine truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever o.
casion arises for plain speaking.
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
patriotic American can afford to close his
eyes to public affairs. 1t is impossible to
exasgerate the importance of the political
events which it has in store, or the neces-
sity of resolute vigilance On the part OF
every citizen who desires to preserve the
Government that tn founders gave us.
The debates and aetsAof 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.

election, to be held in November. -Four
years ago next November the will of the
nation, as expressed at the polls, was
thwarted by al abominabe conspiracy, the
promoters and beneicisries Of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the crime
Of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past dec
ade OF years opened with corrupt, extrav-
agant and lnsolent Administration in
trenched at Was uington. THE SUN did
something toward disiodging the gang and
breaking it's power. Inc same men are
now intriguing TO restore their leader and
themselves to places from which they were
driven by the INDIGNATION of the people.

in heir relations to sxpedieney and right.
Thus, with habit OF philosophical good

pose to maintain the rights of the people

against all aggressors, THE SUN is pre-
pared to write u truthful, instructive and
ut the same time entertaining history Of
1880.
