THE SUN for 1879.

The sun will be printed every d.y dur
| ing the year to come. It's purpose and meth
| I'd will be the same as in the past: To present
| all the news in a readable shape. and to tell
this truth though the heavens fall.
The Sun has been. is, and will continue to
| be independent Of every body and everything
save the Truth and its own convictions OF
duty. That is the only policy which sn
honest newspaper need have. That IL the
policy which has won for this newspaper
the confidence and friendship Of n wider
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, or FOR the poor man against the rich
man, but it seeks to DO eqaal justice TO all
interests in the community. II is not the
organ Of any person, class. sect or party.
here need be no mystery about its loves ana
hates. 1t is for the honest uan against th,
rogues every time. II is for the honest Demo
crat rs again t the dishonest Republican, and
| for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat II does not take its cue
from the utteranccs ofany politician or polit-
| ical organization. It gives it, support un
| reservedly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic was
founded for the people. Whenever the

viOlated-as In the outrageous conspiracy o.
1875, by which q man not elected was placed
in the Presidents ONCE. where he still re-

The Suns idea Of independence. In this re-
spec. there will be no change in Its Programme
for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hatred Of

year gone by. The Sun will coutinus TO
shine on the wicked with unmitig gated bright
ness
While the lessons of the past should be
constantly kept before the people, The Sun
does not propose to make itself in 1873
magazine of ancient history. 1t is printed
for the men and women Of to- day, whose
concern is chiefly with the Affairs of to-day.
II has both the disposition and the ability
to afford its readers the promp.est, fullest.
and most accurate intelligence Of whatever in
the wide wOr d is worth attention. To this
end the resources belongingt to weIl-es.ablished
prosperity will be lioeraliy employed.
The present disjointed condition of parties
in this country, and the uncertainty of the
future, lend an extraordinary significance to
the events Of the coming year. The discus
sion Of the press, the debates and acts Of
Congress, and the movements of the leaders
in every section of the Republic will have
direact bearing on tho Presidential election of
lsSO-an event which must be regarded with
the most anxious interest by every patriotic
American, whatever his political ideas or
allegiance. To these elements of interest
may be added the probability that the Demo
Gratis will control both houses Of Congress,
the increasing feeht ness Of the fraudulent
