shape-the shape that will enable its read
ers to keep well abreast Of TIE age with
the least unpr0ductive expenditure Of time.
The greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is the law controlling its daily
makeup. It now has . circulation very
much larger than that of any other Ameri-
can newspaper, and enjoys m income
which 1t Is at all times prepared to spend

By genuine American principles and back
ed by honesty of purpose. For this reason

independent Of party class, clique organi-
zation, or interest. It is for all, bat of
none. It win continue to praise what is
good and reprobate what il evil, taking
care that it, language IL 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 rascaiity even more
than it hates unnecessary words. It
ahhors frauds, pities fools, and deplores
nincompoops Of every species. 1t will
continue throughout the year 1880 to
chastise the first class, instruct the second,
and discounteaaace 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 occasion arises for plain speak
ing.
These are the principles upon which The
