Everybody reads Tue Sun In the editions
OF this newspaper throughout tho year to
come everybody will find:
|. All tho worlds news, so presented that
tho reader will get the greatest amount of
Information with the least Improbable cx-
penditure of timo and eycsight ruE sun
long ago discovered the golden mean between
redundant fulncss aud unsatisfactory breyity.
IL. Much OF that sore Of news which de.
pends less upon it's recognized importance
than .up'n its interest to mankind. From
morning to morning TaE Sun prints contin.
ned story OF the lives OF real men and women.
and of their deeds, plans. loves. hates, aud
troubles. This story is more varied and more
interesting than any romance that was ever
devised.
III. Good writing III every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy, and dccorum
in the treatment of every subject
w. Honest comment. The Suns habit is
to speak out icarlessly about men and things.
'. Equal candor in dealing with each
political party, and equal readiness to COM
mend what is rrai;sleworhy or to rebnkc
what is blamablc in Democrat or Republican.
vi Absolute independence Of partisan
organizations, but nnwaYcrng loyalty to ,ruo
Dcmocrntlc principals. TIE SuN believes
that tho Government which tho Constitution
gives us is good one to keep. Its dutyis is t.,
resist to It's utmost power the efforts of mon
IN the Republican party to set up another
form Of government in place of that which
exists. The year 1881 and the years immedi
ateiy following will probably decide this su-
prcmelS Important contest. TIE Sun believes
that The victory will be with the people as
against the Rings for monopoly, the Rings for
plundcr, and the Rugs for impcrial power.
