LITERARY.
the SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during 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 fall.
THE SUN has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be independent Of everybody and
everything save the Truth aud its own
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
adence and friendship of q wider constitu-
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
American Journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not for the rich man against
the poor man, or for the poor man against
the rich man, but it seeks to do equal jus
tice to all classes in the community. 1t is
not the organ of any person, class, sect or
party. There need be no mystery about
It's loves and hates. 1t is for the honest
man against the rogues every time. 1t Is
for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest
Republican as against the dishonest DEM
ocrat. 1t does not take its cue from the
utterances Of any politician or political or
ganization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
edly 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
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
ncy of 1876, by which man not elected
was placed in the Presidents Office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is THE SUMS idea Of inde-
pendence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 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 in the year 1879 than
in 1878. 1877, or any year gone by. THE
SUN will continue to shine on the wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, THE
SUN does not propose to make itself in
1879 magazine Of ancient history. 1t il
printed for the men and women Of to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs OF
to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford 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 belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition of par.
ties in this country and the uncertainty o.
the future lend an extraordinary signit
cance to the events of the coming year
The discussions OF the press, the debates
and acts Of Congress, and the movements
of the leaders iu every section OF the he
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of 1S80-an even
which must be regarded with the mos
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
ican, whatever his political ideas or allie
glance. To these elements of interest may
be added the probability that the Demo
Gratis W; II control both houses of Congress
the increasing feebleness of the fraudulen
Administration, and the spread anC
strengthening everywhere of a healthy ali
horrence OF fraud in any form. To pre-
sent with accuracy and clearness the exac
situation in each Of its varying phases, anG
to expound, according TO its well-knowr
methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, will be an i'm
portant part OF THE SUNS work ior 1879
