THE SUN viii be printed every day during
the year to come The purpose and
method will be the same as in the past: To
present all the newsin readable shape, and
toseli the truth though the heavens fall.
he Sun has been, is, aud will continue to be
Independents 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 conf.
dence and friendship of wider constituency
than was ever enjoyed BY any other American
journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. 1t
Is not Tor the rich NAH against the poor man,
or Tor the poor man against the rich man, but
= seeks to do equal justice to all interests in
the community. 1t is not the organ of any
person. class, sect or party. There need be no
niysterl about its loves and hates. 1t is for
TIE honest man against the rogues every time
II Is Tor the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Repnb lean, and for the honest Re-
publican rs against the dishonest Democrat
1t does not take It's cue from the utterances OF
any politician, or political organization. 1t
gives It's support unreservedly when men or
measures are In agreement with the Constitu
ton and with the principles upon which this
Republic was founded for the people. When
ever the Constitution and constitutional prin-
eiples are violated-as in the outrageous con-
splracy OF 1876, by which q man not elected
was placed in the Presidents office, where he
stlii remains-i it speaks out for the right. That
Is The Suns idea of independence In this re-
speet there will be no change in its programme
for 1879. ~ iisSa
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 he wicked with unmtigated Brightness
n hill laaS Of he
constantly kept before the people, The Sun
does not propose to make itself in 1879 a mag.
zine vi ancient history. 1t is printed for the
men and women of to-day. It has both the
disposition aud the ability to afford it's readers
the ptomptest, fullest, and most accurate in
telligene OF whatever in the wide world is
worth attention. To this end the resources
belonsingto well-established prosperity will
be literally employed.
Tlepresent disjointed condition of parties
in this country, and the uncertainty of the iu-
ture, lend an extraordinary Significance to the
cunning year. The discussions OF the press,
The debates and acts OF Congress, and the
movements Of the leaders i'll every section Of
the Republic will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of ISS0-an event which
must be regarded with the most anxious in
tercst by every patriotic American, whatever
his political ideas or allegiance. To these ele-
ncnts OF interest may bc added the probability
Of Congress, the increasing fccbieness Of The
fraudulent Administration. and The spread and
strengthening every where of a healthy abhot
! enee Of fraud in any form. 10 present with
! accuracy and elcai hess the exact situation III
each OF its varying phases, and to expound
according to its ,weifiNaown methods, tile
principles that should guide us through tie
labyrinth, will be an important part OF The
