TINE SUN FOR 1873.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as in the past:
10 present all the news in q readable
shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
THE SUN has been, ia, and will con-
uaue to be independent of everybody and
everything save the Truth and lis own
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
hdence and friendship Of wider constitu-
euey than was ever enjoyed by any other
American Journal.
THE SUN Is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. II IL not for the rich man agsinst
the poor man, or for the poor man against
the rich man, but 1t seeks to do equal JUS
not the organ Of any person, class, sect or
PARTY. There need be no mystery about
n loves and hates. It is for the honest
man against the rogues every time. 1t is
for tho honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest
Republican as against the dishonest DEM
ocrat. It does not take its cue from the
utterances Of any politician or political or
ganization. It gives its support unreserv-
edly when mon or measures are in sgree-
ment with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic was
lounded for the people. Whenever the
Copstltution and constitutional principles
are violated-as In the outrageous conspir-
acy Of 1876, by which man not elocted
Vas placed in the Presidents Office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is THE SUMS idea Of indie
pendence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty
hatred Of rsscals. frauds and humbugs Of
all sort. and sizes. 1t hopes T. deserve
that haired not less in the year 1879 tnsn
in 1878. 1877, or any year gone by. III +
