THE SUN FOR 1880.

tue year looU IN It's own iuSLluug HSM I
pretty well understood by everyday,
From January l to December 81 it will
be conducted as a newspaper, written
in the English language, and printed
for the people.
Asa newspaper, THR Sun believes in
getting the news of the world prompt
ly, and presenting il in the most intel
igible shape-the shape that will en-
able its readers to keep well abreast OF
the age with the least unproductive ex-
penditure of time. The greatest interest
10 the greatest nunber-that Is the law
controlling its daily makeup. 1t now
has circulation 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. People Of all
conditions of life and all ways of think
ing buy and read THE Sun; and they
all derive satiSfa ction of some sort from
its columns, for they keep on buying
and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs,
HHE Sun believes that the only guide
of policy should be common sense, in
splred by genuine American principles
and backed by honesty of purpose,
For this reason it is, and will continue
60 be, absolutely independent of party,
class, clique, organization, or interest.
1t is for oil, but of none. 1t will con-
tinus 10 praise what is good and repro
bate what is evil, taking care that its
language is to the point and plain, be-
yond the possibility of being misunder-
stood. 1t is uniniuenced by motives
that do not appearfo& the surface; it
mas no opinions 70 Sell, save those
which may be had by any purchaser
with two cents. 1t hates injustice and
rascality even more than it hates UNI
necessary words. 1t abhors fraud,
pIties fools, and deplores nincompoops
of every species. 1t will continue
| throughout the year 1880 TO chastise
the first class, instruct the second, and
discountenance the third. All honest
men, with honest convictions, whether
sound or unSound, 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
mis- eyes to public anairs. it is ilnpos
sible 10 exasgerate the Importance o.
the political events which il has il
store, or the resolute vigilance Oh The
part of every citizen who desires Il
preserve the Government that the
founders gave US. The debates ant
acts of Congress. the uJerances of thu
press, the exciting contest between thu
Republican and Democratic parties
now nearly equal throughout the cOun
try, the varying drift of public senti
ment, will all bear directly and effect
lively upon the uweuty-fourth PreSiden
tial election, to be held in November
-Four years ago next November the vii
of the nation, rs expressed at the polls
was thwarted by an abolninable con
spiracy, the promoters and benefciarie
OF which still hold the ticeS they stole
will the crimes of 1876 be repeated il
1880? The past decade of years op IL
ed with corrupt, extravaganza, AM
insolent Administration inJrenched a
Washington. The Sun did somthin
toward dislodging the gang and break
ing its power. The same men are nov
intriguing to restore their leader an,
themselves to places from which the
were driven by the Indignation OF tn
people. Will they succeed? The coul
ing year will bring the answers to thes
momentous questions. THE Sun vii
be on hand to chronicle the facts a
they are developed, and to exhibit then
clearly and fearleSsly in their relation
to expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical
good humor in looking at the mino
affairs of life, and in great things
steadfast purpose to maintain til
rights of the people and the principle
of the Constitution against all aggres
sors. THE Sun is prepared to write
truthful, instructive, and at the sam
time entertaining history of 1880.
