The home journal. (Winchester, Tenn.) 1858-188?, 1878-12-26
THE SUN FOR. 1879.

TIE sun viii be printed every day du-
ring the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same Ms IN the past:
To present all the news In readable
shape. and to tell the truth though the
| hpHNtns TALL
THE Sun has been. IL. and will continue
to DO independent of everybody and ev-
crything save the Truth and Its own cor
virtions Oi duty. That Is the only policy
which an honest newspaper need have.
That Is the policy which has won for this
newspaper the coniid, nee and friendship
Of wider constituency than WIS ever Ell
joyrd ny any other American Journal.
The Sun Is the newspaper fUr the pco-
pie. 1t Is not Tor the rich man against the
poor man. or Tor the poor inuh against tho
rich man, but 1t seeks to do equal justice
to all Interests IN the community. 1t Is
not the organ of any class, sect or party.
There need be- no mystery about its loves
and hates. IL Is for the honest man
against the rogurs every time. 1t Is lot
! the honest Democrat rs against the dis
Modest Republicans, and for the honest Re
publican rs against the dishonest Demo
crat. 1t does not take It's cue from the III
teranccs OF any politician or political OF
ganization. 1t gives Its support unre
sCWedly when men or measures are H.
agreement with the Constitution and witt
the principles upon which this Republic
was founded for the people. Whrncver
| the Constitution and constitutional prii-
ciples are yioutrd--as in the outrageous
conspiracy Of 1876, by which u man not
elected was placed H. the Presidents OF
icc. where lie still remains-it speaks on,
for the right. That is The Suns idea Of
independence. In this respect there will
be no change IN its programme tor 1879
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty ha-
tired OF rascals, frauds and hur Ougs OF all
sorts aud sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that
hatred not less in the year 1879. than in
1873 1877, or any year gone by. The Sun
will continue to shine on the wicked with
unmitgatcG brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be
constantly kept before the people The
sun does not propose to make itself in
| 1879 "A magazine of ancient history. 1t IA
printed for the men and women of to-day.
whose concern is chiefly with tho affairs
OF to-day, 1t has both the disposition and
the ability toaltord its readers the prompt
est, fullest, and most accurate Intelligence
of whatever in the wide world is worth at
tentiOn. To this end the resources be-
longing to wcll-eStahished prosperity
will he literally employed.
The present disiGnted condition OF par
ties in this country. and the uncertainty
of the future, lend All extraordinary sig
nilicanCe to tho events OF the coming
year. The discussions of the press. the de-
bates and acts OF Congress, and the move
mcnts Of the leaders in every section Of
the Republic VIII have direct hearing
on the Presidential election in lSS0-an
event which must be regarded with the
most anxious interest by every patriotic
American, whatever his political IDEAS OF
allegiance. TO these elements OF interest
may be added the probability that the
Democrats viii control both hou rS or
Congress. the increasing teebleness of the
fraudulent Administration, and the spread.
and Strengthening every where OF Il healthy
adherence OF fraud in any form. To pre-.
sent with accuracy and clearness the exact
situation in each Of It's varying phase,
and to cXpound. according to its we'll
known methods. the principles that should
guide u through the labyrinth, will be
an important part OF The Suns worn Tor
1879.
