NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
The Sun 3 1880.

TIE Sun will deal with the events of
the year 1880 in its own fashion, now
pretty well understood by everybody.
From January to December 81 it will
be conducted as newspaper, written
in the English language, and printed
for the people.
As a newspaper, TIE Sun believes In
getting all the news of the world
promptly, and presenting 1t In the most
Ineligible shape-the shape that will
enable its readers to keep we'll abreast
of the age with the least unproductiye
expenditure OF time. The greatest in
terest to the greatest number-that is
the law controlling its daily makeup.
It Eow has circulation very much
larger than that of any other American
newspaper, and enjoys an income which
it is at all times prepared to spend lber-
ally for the benefit of its readers. Peo-
pie of all conditions of life and all
ways of thinking buy and read THE
Sun; and they all derive satisfaction of
some sort from its columns, for they
keep on buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs,
The Sun believes that the only guide of
policy should be common sense, in
spired 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 con-
tinue to praise what is good and repro
bate what is evil, taking care that its
language is to the point ana plain, be-
yond the possibility of being misunder-
stood. 1t is uninflueneed by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it
has no opinions to sell, save those
which may be had by any purchaser
for two cents. 1t hates injustice and
rascality even more than it hates un-
necessary words. 1t abhors fraud, pities
fools, and deplores nincompoOps of
every species. 1t will continue through
ont the year 1880 to chastise the first
| class, instruct the second, and discOun-
| tenance 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
| 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 impOssi-
BILE to exaggerate the Importance of the
political events which it has in store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilance
on the part of every citizen who desires
to preserve the Government that the
| e., Ioho
of Congress, the utterances of the press,
the exciting contests of the Republican
and Democratic parties, now nearly
equal in strength throughout the coun-
try, the varying drift of public senti-
ment, will all bear directly and effective
ly 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 con-
spiracy, the promoters and beneticiaries
of which still hold the offices they stole.
Will the crime OF 1876 be repeated in
1880? The past decade of years opened
with corrupt, extravagant and inso-
lent Administration intrenched at Wash
ington. The Sun did something toward
dislodging the gang and breaking its
power. The same men are. now in
triguing to restore their leader and
themselves to places from which they
were driven by the indignation of the
people. VIII they succeed? The COM
ing 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 right.
Thus with habit of philosophical
good humor in looking at the minol
affairs of life, and in great things s
steadfast purpose to maintain the right:
of the people and the principles of the
Constitution against all aggessOrs, TIL
SUN is prepared to write truthful
instructive, and at the same time enter
tanning history of 1880.
