THE SUN FOR 1879.

The Sun will be printed every
day during the year to come. Its
purpose and method will ba the same
as in the past: To present all the
news In readable shape, and to tell
the truth though the heavens fall.
THE SUN has been, is, aid viii
continue to be independent OF every
body and everything save the Truth
and its own convictions of duty.
That is the only policy which
honest newspapers nee,l have. That
Is the policy which has won for this
newspaper the con6den :e and friend
ship of a 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
against the poor man, or for the
poor man against the rich MAJ, but
it seeks to do equal justice To all
interests in The community. 1t is
not the organ OF any person, class,
sect or rarty. There need be nn
mystery about its loves and hates.
Il is for the honest IN III az ainst the
Io9ues every time. 1t is for the
honest Democl at as against the dis
honest Republican, aud for the hon.
est Republican as against the dis
honest Democrat. 1t does not take
its hue from the utterances of any
politician or political organization.
II gives its support unreServedly
when men or measures are i'm agree
ment with the Constitution and
with the principles upon which this
Republic Sas sounded for the peo-
pie. Whenever the Constitution
and constitutional principles are
violated-as in 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
TEE suns idea Of independence.
In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1877.
THE Sun has fairly carmel the
hearty hatred of rascals, frauds, aud
fumbugs OF all sorts and siz 4s. It
hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1879, than in 1878, 1877,
Or any year gooe by. The Sun will
continue to shine on the wicked
with unrnitiSated brightness.
While the lessons of the past
should be constantly kept before the
people, THE Sun does not propose
10 make itself in 1879 magazine of
ancient history. 1t is printed for
tho men and women, of to-day. 1t
has both the disposition and the
ability to afford its readers the
rromptest, fullest, and most accu-
rate intelligence of Whatever in the
WIDE world is worth attention. To
this and the resources belonging to
well established prosperity will be
liberally employed.
The present disjDinted coEditi0n
OF parties in this country, and the
uncertainty of the future, lend an
extraordinary significance to the
events of the coming year. The dis
cussious Of the press, the debates
and acts of Congress, and the move
rnents of the leaders in every section
Of the Republic will have direct !
bearing on the Presidential election |
in l8SO-an event which must be |
regarded with the most anxious in :
terest by every patriotic American,
whatever his polite Il ideas or allie
glance, To these elements of inter
est may bs added ths probability
that the Democrats will control bnth |
houses Of Congress, the increasing
feebleness of the fraudulent Admin
istration, aud the spread AMI
strengthening every where of a
healthly adherence of fraud in any
form. To present with accuracy
and clearneSs the exact stu ltiOn in
each Of its varying phases, and to
according TO its we'll
known methods, the PRINCIPLES that |
shonld guide US through the laby-
rinth, will be an important part of /
THE SUNS work for 1879.
We have the means Of making
THE Sun, as polite Il, a literary !
and general newspaper, more en-
tertaining and more useful than
ever before aud We mean to apply |
them freely.
