The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1878-12-05
The SIR for 1879.

>'i'rfE Sun will be printed every day
during Che year to come. Its purpose
an,i method will be the same as in the
mast: To present all of the news In Q
reliable shape, and to tell Che tfutb
though the heavens fall.
TrfE SIM has been, is, and will con-
tinr,e TO be independent of everybody
and everything save Truth and it's own
convictions of duty. That is the only
policy which newspaper need nave.
THAT is the policy which has won for
this newspaper the confidence ana
friendship Of wider constituency
than was ever enjoyed by any other
American Journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the
people, It is not for the rich man
agoinst the poor man, or for the poor
man against the rich man, but 1t seeks
to do edsal Justice to all interests In
the community. 1t is not the organ OF
any person, class, sect or party. There
need be no mystery about its loves and
hates. 1t is the honest man against
the rogues every time. 1t is for the
honest Democrat against the dishonest
Republican, and for the honest Re
publican against the dishonest DEM
ocrat. 1t does not take its cue from
the utterances of any politician or po'
litical organization. It gives its sup
port unreservedly when men or meas
ures are in agreement with the Con-
stitution and with the principles upon
which this Republic was founded for
the people. Whenever the Constf@
tuition and constitutional principles
are violated-as i'm the outrageous con-
spiracy of 1876, by which a man not
elected was placed in the Presidents
office, where he still remains-it speaks
out for the right. That is THE SUMS
idea of independence. In this respect
there will be no change in the pro
gramme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the ha-
tired of rascals, frauds and humbugs Of
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that hatred no less in the year 1879
than in 1878, 1877, or any year gone by.
THE sun will continue to shine on
the wicked with unmitigated bright
ness.
While the lessons Of Che past should
be constantly kept before the people,
THE SUN does not propose to make it.
self in 1879 magazine of ancient hiss
tory. It is printed for the men and
women Of to-day, whose concern is
chiefly W tn the affairs of to-day. 1t
has both the disposition and ability to-
afford its readers the promptest, fullest
and most accurate intelligence of
| whatever in the world is worth at
tention. To this end the resources be-
longing to we'll established prosperity
will be literally employed.
The present disjeinted condition Of
parties in this country and uncertainty
of the future, lend an extraordinary
coming year. The discussions of the
press, the debates and acts of Congress-,
and the movements of the leaders in
every section of the Republic will
have direct bearing on the Presiden-
tial election of 18SO-an event which
/ must be regarded with the most anx-
| ious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, whatever his political ideas or
| allegiance. To these elements of inter
est may be added the probability that
| the Democrats will control both houses
of Congress, the increasing feebleness
of the fraudulent Administration, and
the spread and strengthening every
where of q healthy adherence of fraud
| in any form. To present with accur-'
acy and elearness the exact situatiOn
in each of the varying phases, and to-
kexpound, according to its well-known
| methods, the principles that should
guide us through the labyrinth, will
be an important part of THE Suns
work for 1879.
We have the means of making THE.
SUN, as political, a literary and q
| general newspaper, more entertaining
and more useful than ever before; and
we mean to apply them freely.
