TIE SUNFOR 1879

The sun will be printed every day for the year
to come. Its purpose and method will he the
same as IN the past To present all the news IN
readable shape, ana 10 tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
The sun has been, Is, and will continue to be
independent OF everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own con victions OF duty. That
is the only policy which an honest newspaper need
have That Is the policy which has won for this
newspaper the confidence and friendship Of Wild
er constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
other American journal.
The sun is the newspaper for the people. IL Is
not tor the rich man against the poor man, or for
the poor man against the rich man. but II seeks TO
do equal justice to all interests in the community.
IL Is not the organ of any person, class, sect or
party. There need be no mystery about its loves
and hates. IL is for the honest man against the
rogues every time. IL is for the honest Democrat
as against the dishonest Republican, and for the
honest Republican as against the dishonest Dem
ocrat. IL does not take its from the utter
ances of any politician or political organization.
IL gives its support unreservedly when men OF
measures are IN agreement with the Constitution
and with the principles upon which this Republic
was founded for the people. Whenever the Con-
stitutIon and constitutional principles are vOlat-
ed-ns IN the outrageous conspiracy of 1876, by
which man not elected was pi ced in the Presi-
dents office, where he still remains 1T speaks out
tor the right. That Is the Suns idea of indepen-
dencc In this respect there will be no change in
its programme for 1879.
The sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred of
rnscals, frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and
sizes. II hopes to deserve that hatred not less in
the year 1879, than IN 1878, 1917 any year gone
by. The sun will continue TO shine on the wicked
with unmitgated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people, the sun does not
propose to make i self in 1879 "A magazine Of an
cicnt history II is printed for the men and wo-
men of to-day. whose concern is chiefly OF the af-
fairs of to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the promptcst
fullest and most accurate intelligence OF whatever
IN the wide world Is worth attention. To this
end the resources belonging to well-eHtablished
prosperity will be literally employed.
The present disjonted condition Of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty OF the future,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
OF the coming year. The discussions OF the press
the debates and acts Of Congress, and the move
ments OF the leaders IN every section OF the Re-
public will have "A direct bearing on the Prcsiden-
thai election of 1SSO-an event which must be re-
garded with the most anxious interest by every
patriotic American, whatever his political ideas or
allegiance. 10 these elements of interest may be
added the probability that the Democrats will conf
troll both houses of Congress-, the increa ing fee
bleness OF the fraudulent Administration, and
the spread and strengthening everywhere Of q
healthy abhol ence of fraud in any FORM To pre-
sent with accuracy and cleArness the exact situa-
ton IN each OF its varying phases, and to expound
according TO its well-known methods the princi-
pies that should guide us through the labyrinth
