THE SUN FOR 1880.

the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pref
ty well understood by every body. From
January until December II it will be
conducted as newspaper, written in the
English language, and printed for the peo-
pie.
As a newspaper, The Sun believes in
getting all the news of the world prompt
ly, and presenting 1t in the most intelligi-
BILE shape-the shape that will enable its
readers to keep well abreast of the age
with the least unproductiye expenditure
of time. The greatest interest to the
greatest number-that is, the law control
ling its daily makeup. II now has cir
culation 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 the benefit of its read
ers. 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 Ind reading ii.
In It's comments on men and affairs
THE SUN believes that the guide of policy
should be common sense, inspired by gen
uinc American principles and backed by
honesty of purpose For this reason il is
