Daily Los Angeles herald., 1880-07-04
the SUN FOR 1880.

IHE SUN Will zeal WIN INC events Oh
the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
we'll understood by everybody. From jan
uaIy until December 81 it will be con-
Quoted as a newspaper, written in the Eng
lish language, and printed for the people.
As a newspaper, THE SUN believes in
getting all the news Of the world promptly,
aud presenting it in the most ineligible
shape-the shape that will enable its read
ers to keep we'll abreast of the age with the
least unproductive expenditure Of time.
The greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is the law controlling its daily
makeup. 1t now has o circulation very
much larger than that Of any other Amer
lean newspaper, and enjoys an income
| literally for the benefit of its 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 reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs,
THE SUN believes that the only guide Of
policy should be common sense, inspired
by genuine American principles and
reason it Is, and will continue to be, abso-
lutely independent Of party, class, clique,
organization or interest. 1t is for all, but
of none. 1t will continue to praise what
is good and reprobate what is evil, taking
care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility Of being mis-
understood. 1t is unintluenced by motives
that do not 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 even more
than it hates unnecessary words. Itabhors
frauds, pities tools, and deplores ninc0m-
pOops Of every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
first class, instruct the second and discount
tenance the third. All honest men, with
honest convictions, whether sound or mis-
taken, are its friends. And THE SUN
makes no bones Of telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever oc-
casion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which
THE SUN will be conducted dun in 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 impossible to
exaggerate the Importance OF the political
events which it has in store, or the neces-
sity Of resolute vigilance on the part of
every citizen who desires to preserve the
Government that the founders gave us.
The debates and acts of Congress, the ut
terances of the press, the exciting contests
of the Republican and Democratic parties,
now nearly equal in strength throughout
the country, the varying drift OF public
sentiment will all bear directly and ssSs
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 conspiracy, the
promoters and beneticiaries Of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the crime

trenched at Washington. THE SUN did
something toward dislodgiug the gang and
breaking its power. The same men are
now intriguing to restore their leader and
themselves to places from which they were
driven by the indignation of the people.
Will they succeed2 The coming 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 fearlBssly
in heir relations to expectancy and night.
Thus, with habit OF philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs of
lie, and in great things steadfastpur-
pose to maintain the rights of the people
and the principles of the Consultation
against ali aggressors, THE SUN is pre-
pared to write truthful. instructive and
at the same time entertaining hlstov OF
1880.
