THE SUN FOR 1881.

Everybody reads The SUN. In the editions
of this newspaper throughout the year to
come everybody will find
l. All the worlds news, so presented that
the reader will get the great est amount Of in
formation with The least expenditure of time
and eyesight The Sun long ago discovered
the golden meaning between redundant full
ness and unsatisfactory brevlty.
II Much of that sort ofnews which depends
less upon its recognised Importance than up
on its interest to mankind. From morning to
morning Tue SUN prints continued story of
the lives OF real men and women, and OF their
deeds, plans, loves, hates and troubles This
story is more varied and more interesting than
any romance that was ever devised.
III. Good writing in every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy and decorum
in the Treatment of every subject.
~. Honest comment. THR Suns habit is
to speak out fearlessly about men and things.
V. Equal candOr in dealing with each poll
tical party, and equal readiness to commend
what is praisewOrlhy or to rebuke what IL
blanable in Democrat or Republican.
VI. Absolute Independence of partisan or.
CARNATIONS. hut unwaverng loyalty TO true
Democratic principles. THE SUN believes
that the Government which the Constitution
gives us is good one to keep. Its notion OF
duty Is to resist to its utmost power the eifor
of men in the Republican party to set up
another form Of government in place OF that
which exists. The year 1881 and the years
Immediately following will probably decide
this supremely important contest. THE SUN
believes that the victory will be with the peO-
pie as against the Rings for monopoly, the
Rings for plunder, and the Rings Tor imperi-
al power.

1Hlo.
Jay Cooke. of New York, was a
shrewd, calculating Yankee, who saw
his opportunity when the war broke
out. The Federal government had no
money, and was going in deb. at the rate
of a million a week. Cooke soon or
ganized a syndicate Of Bankers, and
began to speculate on the needs of the
country. He became immensely rich,
and assumed the airs of q Lord. His
palace at Ogantz cost nearly one mil
lion dollars. His fame went abroad
throughout tlc world, and his bauk be
came packed with the savings of widows
and orphans. Grown reckless and ar
rogant, he dashed into Wild speculatlons,
aiming to control the whole land OF
course, he failed, and in a few years
he brought dire ruin and wretched
ness TO an hundred thousand homes.
One poor lady, whose little "lortuae was
swept away, fell to the floor a raving
maniac, and has for eight years been
locked up IN the crazy cells Of Phl.-
adelphla poor house
Cooke managed to fail with his
poke, full. and is now so far recovered
that he has bought back his $500, 900
palace, and is supposed to be worth a
bis victim, the old lady referred 10, and
had her put IN a private asylum where
her rawlings could not reach the world.
I'll OTHER SIDE.
Cookewas an energetic Banker: he saw
the Government would fail in 4 year it
there were not extraordinary efforts to
furnish means. He and his friends
bought bonds, and thus helped the gov
eminent. There was Il feverish tide of
prosperity, and they all grew rich. 1t
seemed rs If their fortunes could never
be oyerthrown. But the gradual de-
preston of all business, squeezed the
egg Shell, aud Black Friday brought a
totaI overthrow and ruin. Mr.. Cooke
was left with millions Of debt piled upon
his head. But he went bravely to work,
and by dint Of extraordinary efforts
succeeded in preventing settlement of
his estate until the flood tide of pros
perity began to rise; and then his expe
rience and wisdom made money hand
over fist. until he WAS able 10 clear of
nearly ali pressing debts, and get his
lltdG dtONC NolCS Iit Is NtIkIDp To
pay off dollar for dollar.
II heard Of the poor iadys condition,
and though in n0 wise bound 70 aid her,
AZ she had merely suffered as have all
others whom the exploded bubble of
speculation left penniless, yet her un-
fortunate condition. in a city Aim :
House, aroused his symPathies, and he
had her taken to a reputable private
retreat where she viii receive careful
ard comfortable usage Tor life, or until
restored TO reason. This is only one of
hundreds of generous thoughtfulnesSes
on Mr. Cooke part.
The reader will observe that there are
