THE SUN FOR 1880.

The Sun will deal with the events Of the year
1880 in its own fashion, pretty we'll understood
by everybody From January until December u
it Will be conducted as newspaper written in chc
English language and printed for the people.
As newspaper, the Sun believes in getting all
the news of the world promptly and presenting it
IN the most intellgibe shape-the shape that will
enable its readers to keep well abreast of the age
with the least unproductive expenditure of time.
The greatest interest to the greatest number-that
is the law controlling its daily makeup. 1t now
has circulation very much larger than that of any
other American newspaper, and enjoys income
which is at all time prepared to spend literally for
the beneht OF It's readers People of all conditions
of life and of 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 it.
In its comments and affairs, the Sun be-
lieves that the only guide Of policy should be coui-
mon sense, inspired by genuine American princi-
pies and backed by honesty of purpose. For this
reason it is, and will continue be, absolutely indie
pendent of party, class, clique, organization in
tercst 1t is for ALL but of none. 1t will con-
tnue to praise what is good and reqrobate what is
evil taking care that ITS language is tothe point and
plain beyond the possibility of being misunderstood
1t is uninfuenced by motives that do 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 rascality than it
hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors fraud, pities
fools, and deplores nincompoops of every descrp-
uon; 1t will continue throughout the year 1880
chastise the first class instruct the second and
discountenance 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 when
ever occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which the SuN
will be conducted during the year to come
The year I88owill be in which no patriotic
American can afford to close his eyes to public af
fairs. 1t is impossible exagerate the inportanca
Of the political events which has in store or the
necessity of resolute vigilance the part of every
citizen who desires to the Government that
the founders gave The debates and acts of
Congress, the uterances of the press, the exciting
contests Of the Republican and Democratic parties,
now nearly equal in strength throughout the
try, the varying drift of public sentiment will all
bear directly and effectively upon the twentyfo fourth
Presidential election, to be held in November Four
years ago November the will of the Nation as
expressed at the polls, was thwarted By an abomn-
able conspiracy, the promoters and beneiciaries of
which still hold the Offices they stole. Will the
crime of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past decade
