The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-12-12
THE sun FOR 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day in the
year to come. Its purpose and method will
be the same as in the past To present all the
news in readable shape, and to tell the truth
though the heavens fail.
The Sun has been, is, and will continue to
be independent Of everybody and everything
save the Truth and its own convictions Of dut,
That is the only policy which all honest nows-
paper need have. This is the policy which
has won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship OF u wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed BY any other American Journal.
The Sun fhesnewspaper for the people 1t
is not for th1efich Inan against the poor man.
or for the poor iran against the rich man. but
1t seeks to do e,lua Justice to person, class sec.
or party. There need be no mystery abou. its
loves and hates. 1t is tor the honest man
against the rogues every time. II is for the
honest Democrat AS against the dishonest Re-
publicans, and for the honest Republican az
against the dishonest Democrat. II does not
take its cue from the ,,tterances Of any polti-
clan or political organization. Il gives its sup
port unreServ .dly when men or Measures are
in agreement with the Constitution and with
the prime pies upon which this Republic was
founded for the people Whenever the Con-
>titutioa and constitutional principles are
violated-as in the outrageous conspiracy Of
1870, by which man not elected was placed
in the Presidents office. where he still re-

Suns idea of independence. In this respect
there will b. 10 charge in its programme Tor
1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
Of rascals, frauds, and humbugs Of all sorts and
sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
i'll the year 1879, than in 1878, 1877, or any
year gone by. The Sun will continue to shine
on the wicked with unmitiga;ed brightness.
While the lessons Of the past should be con-
stantsy kept before the reople, The Sun does
not propose to make itself IN 1879 .magazin e
of ancient history. II is printed for the men
aud women Of to-day, whos- con eTn is chiefly
with the affairs Of to-day. II has both the dis
position and ability to afford its readers the
promptest, fullest. and most accurate intejli-
gence Of whatever in the wide world is worth
At ention. To this end the resources belong
ing TO well-estahished prosperity will be libsr-
allv employed.
The present dis;oin.ed condition OF parties
in this country, and the uncertainty Of the fli-
ture, nd on extraordinary significance to the
events Of the 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 barring on
the Presidential election in ISs0-an event
which must b. regarded with the most anxious
interest by every patriotic Amer:s N, V haiever
his political ideas or allegiance. To these eIe-
ments Of interest may be added the probability

Of Congress, the increasing ieebleness Of the
fraudulent Administration, and the spread and
strengthening everywhere Of healthy abhor-
enee of fraud in any form To present with
ccur&cy and clearness the exac. situation IN
each Of its varying phases. and to expound, g.,
cordins to its we'll known methods. the pr.nci-
