THE SUN FOR 1880.


THk SUN will deal with the events OF the
year 1880 In its own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January 1
until December 81 1t Will be conducted as
newspaper written in he English language
and printed for the whole people.
As n newspaper, THE Sun believes in get.
ting all the news Of the world promptly, and
presenting II in the most intellgihle shape
the shape that will enable its readers to Keep
well abreast Of the age with the least unpr0-
ductive expenditure OF time. The greatest
interest TO the greatest numbcr--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 It is at all times prepared to
spend literally for tho benefit ofits readers
People 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 read
ing 1t.
In its comments on men and affairs, THE
SUN believes that the only guide of policy
should be comman sense, inspired by genuine
American principles and backed by honesty
of Purpose. For this reason 1t is, and will con
tlnue to he absolutely independent of party,
class, clique, organization, or interest. 1t is
for all, but ofnone. 1t will continue to praise
what is good and reprobate what is evil, TAX
ing care that its language is to the point and
plain beyond the possibility of being misun-
derstOOd. II is uniniluenced by motives that
| do not appear on the surface; it has no Opin.
| ions to sell, save those which may be had by
any purchaser with two cents 1t hates in.
| Justice and rascality even more than 1t hates
unnecessary words. 1t abhOrs frauds, pitieS
| fools, and nincOmpOOps of every species. II
| will continue throughout the year 1850 tC
chastise the frst class instruct the second and
discountenance the third. All honest men
| with honest convictions, whether sound OF
mistaken, are its friends. And THE Sun
makes no bones of telling the truth to ia
friends and about its friends whenever occa-
sion arises for plain speaking.

SUN will be conducted during the year t
| come.
The year 1880 will he one in which no patri
| otto American can afford to close his eyes t,
| public affairs. 1t Is impossible to eXaggerati
| the importance Of the political events whicl
1t has in store, or the necessity of resOlute Wig
| ilance on the part of every citizen who desire
| to preserve the Government that the founder
| 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 throughou
the country, the varying DRIFT of public senti
! ment,Will all bear directly and effectively upoi
the twenty-fOurth Presidential election, to- III
| held in November. Four years ago next No
vember, the will Ofthe nation, as expires essed Il
the polls, was thwarted by an abominable con
| spiracy. the promoters and benehciGries o
which still hold the offices they stole. VIII
the crime of 1875 be repeated in 1Ss07 Tn
past decade OF years opened with n corrupt
| cxtravagant, and insolent Administration in
thing toward dislodging the gang and break
| ing its power. he same men are now in
| triguipg to restore their leader and them
| selves to places from which they were driver
by the Indignation of the people. VIII the
succeed? The coming year will bring tn
answers TO these momcntous questions. TIL
SUN will be on hand to chronicle the facts n
they are developed, and to exhibit them cleai
ly and tearlessy in their relations to exped
ency and right.
Thus, with hatt of philosophical goo
| humor in l0Okng nt the minor affairs of lile
and in great things a steadlast purpose L
maintain the rights of the people and tn
principles of the Constitution against all az
gressOrs, lHE sun is prepared to write
truthful, instructive, and entertaining mstor
of 1880.
