American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1880-01-03
THE SUN FOR 1880.


The Sun will deal with the event.
of the year 1880 in it's own fashion
now petty we'll understood 10y
everybody. From January l unit
December 81 will be conducted as /;
newspaper, written i'll the English
!. language, and printed FOR the peo'
pie.
As newspaper. The Sun be-
lieves in getting all the news OF the
world promptly, ard presenting il
in the most ineligible shape-tht
shape that will enable its readers to
keep well abreast of the age with
the least unprotluctive expenditure
of time. The greatest iaterest to
the greatest number-that Is the
law controlling it's daily makeup.
1t now has circulation very much
larger than that of any other
American newspaper, and enjoys
an income vii CHI it is at all times
prepared TO spend literally for the
benefit of it's readers. People of
all conditions Of life aud all ways
of thinking buy and read The Sun ::
and they all derive s,tisfaction of
some sort from its columns, for they
keep Oh buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and af-
fairs, The Sun believes that the
only guide of policy should I've con
mon sense, inspired Ivy genuine
American principles and hacked by
honesty of purpose. For this reason
it is, and will continue to be. abso.
lutely independent of party, class
clique, organ ization, or interest.
1t is for all, but Of none. 1t will con
tinue to praise what is good and
reprnbate what is evil, taking care
that it's language is to the point aud
plain, beyond the possibility of be-.
ing misunderstood. 1t is uninflu-
enced by motives that do not ap-
pear on the surface it has no opin-
ions to sell, save those which may
be had by any purchaser with two
cents 1t hates Injustice and ras>
cslsty even more than it hates un>
necessary words. 1t abhors frauds,
pities fools, and deplores uincem.
poops of every species. 1t will con,
tinue throughout the year 1880 to
chastise the first class; instruct the
second, and discOuntenance the
third. All honest men, with hon
est convictions, whether sound or
mistaken, are its friends. And The
Sun makes no bones of telling the
truth 10 its friends and about its
friends Whenever occasion arises for
plain speaking.
These are the principles upon
L..
during the year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in
which no patriotic American can
affoId to close his eyes TO public
affairs. 1t IS impossible to exag>
gerate the Importance Of the pOliti-
cal events which it has In Store, or
the necessity of resOlute vigilance
on the part OF every citizen who
desires TO preserve the Governmet
that the founders gave US. The
debates and acts OF Congress, the
utrerance of the press. the exciting
contests of the Republican and
Democratic parties, now nearly ecsal
in strength throughout the country,
the varying DRIFT of public SCENTS
ment, will Gil bear directly and ETA
fectively upon 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
pi0saOters and beneficiaries of which
still hold the Office they stole. Will
the crime of 1876 be repeated in
1880: The past decade OF years
opened with a corrupt. extravagant,
aud insolent Administration in.
,renched at Washington. The SUI.
did something toward dislOdgIng
the gang aud 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 succeed 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 their relations to expediency and
eight.
Thus, with a habit of philosophi-
cal gOOl humOc in looking at the
minor affairs OF life, and in great
things II steadfast purpose to MAIN
tain the rights of the people and
principles of the constitution against
all aggressors, The Sun is prepared
to write truthful, instructive, and
at the same time entertaining his
tory OF 1850.
