The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1880-02-14
THE SUN FOR 1880.

TIE SuS will deal with the events of the
year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January
until December 81 it will be conducted as a
newspaper, written in the English language,
and printed for the people.
As anewspaper, The Sun believes in getting
all the news OF the world promptly, and pre-
sentlng ii in the most Ineligible shape-the
shape that will enable its readers to keep well
abreast of the age with the least unproductive
expenditure of time. The greatest interest Is
the greatest number-that is, the law control
ling its daily makeup. 1t now has a circula-
tion very much larger than that Of any other
American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which il is at all times prepared to spend
literally for the benefit of its readers. Peo-
pie of all conditions of life and all ways Of
thinking buy and read THE Sun; ana they all
derive satisfaction of some sort from its col
umns, for they keep on buying and reading
ii.
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 and backed by honesty
of purpose. For this reason it is, and viii
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
point and plain, beyond the possibility of
being misunderstood. Ii is unlnfuenced 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
il hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors frauds,
pities fools, and deplores nincompoops OF
every species. IL will continue throughout
the year 1880 to chastse the frst-class, instruct
the second, and discountenance the third. All
h est 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 The
Sun will be INDICTED 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 il
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
| .pon the twenty -fourth Presidential election,
to be held in November. Four years ago next
November the will of the nation, as expressed
at the polls, was thwarted by an abominable
conspiracy, the promoters and benefeiaries of
which still hold the offices they stole Win
| the crime Of 1876 be repeated in 1882 The
past decade of years opened with a corrupt,
extravagant, and insolent Administration in"
trenched at Washington. THE Sun did some
thing toward disloding the gang and breaking
its power. The same men are now intriguing
to restore their leader and themselves to
places from which they were driven by the
indignation of the people. Will they sue
coed 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 at the minor affairs of life,
and in great things 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 a
a truthful instructive, and at the same time
entertaining history of 1880.
