THEE SUN FOR 1879

The Sun will be printed every day for the year
TO come. Its purpose and method will be the
same rs in the past TO present all the news in
readable shape, ana 10 tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
The Sun has been, H. and will continue 10 be
independent of everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions 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 friendshipo OF a Wild
or constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
other American journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. II is
not for the rich man against the poor man, OF for
the poor against the rich man, but 1t 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. 1t is for the honest man against the
rogues every time. IL is for the honest Democrat
"a against the dishonest Republican, and for the
honest Republican Us against the dishonest Dem
ocrat. IL does not take its cue from the utter
anccs OF any politician or political organization.
/ II gives its support unreseryedly when men or
measures are IN agreement with the Constitution
and with the principles upon which this Republic
was founded for the people. Whenever the Con-

\ While the lessons of the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people, the sun does not
propose TO make self in 1873 n magazine Of an
cient history. IL is printed for the men and wo-
men Of to-day whose concern Is chiefly OF the af-
