THE SUN FOR 1879.

TNHE SUN will be printed every day during
u the year to come. The purpose aud
method will be the same Is in the past: To
present all the news in Il readable shape, and
to tell the truth though the heavens fall
The sun has been, Is, and will continue to ile
independent 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
Rdence and friendship of u wider constituency
than was ever enjoyed By any other American
Journal
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. It
is not for the rich man agsinst the poor man,
or for the poor man against the rich man, but
it 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
mystery about its loves and hates. 1t il tor
the honest man against the rogues every time.
1t is for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Repuh lean, and for the honest Re-
publican ~ against the dishonest Democrat
1t does not take Its cue from the utterances Of
any politician or political organization. 1t
gives it's support unreservetlly when men or
measures are in agreement with the Gonstiti-
ton and with the principles up,h vi ieh this
Republic WAS founded Tor the people, w hem
| ever the Constitution and constitutional prih-
clples are violated-as in theOutrageons con.
spiracy of 1876, by which a man not electesi
was placed in the Presidents office, where he
still renlains-it speaks out for the right. That
| is The san ailea Of independence. In this re-
| spect there viii be nochange in it's programme

| The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
Of rascals, frauds, and hnmbngs of all sorts
and sizes Ii hopes to deserve that hatred not
less in the year 1879, than in 1879, 1877, or any
year gone by. The Sun will continue to shine
on the wicked with unmitigated brightness.
| While the lessons of the past should be
/ constantly kept before the people, The Sun
does not propose to make itself in 1879 mag
/ zine oil ancient history. 1t is printed for the
men and women OF to-day 1t has both the
disposition and the ability to afford Its readers
1 the proml,test, fullest, and most accurate in
telligenc OF whatever in the wide world is
worth attention. 10 this end the resources
belonging TO well-established. prosperity will
be liberally employed.
Tie present disjointed condition Of parties
in this country, and the uncertainty Of the tu-
ture, lend an extraordinary Significance to the
coming year. The discussions ofo the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the
movements of the leaders in every section OF
the Republic will have u direct bearing on the
Presidential election of 1880-an event which
must be regarded with the most anxious in
terest by every patriotic American, whatever
his political ideas or allegiance. To these ele-
ments OF interest may be added the probability
that the Democrats will control both houses
of Congress, the Increasing feebleness of the
L
Strengthening everywhere of . healthy abhor
ence of fraud in any foEm. To present with
, accuracy and clearness the exact situation IN
each Of its varying phases, and to expound
according to its. well known methods, the
, principles that should guide us through the
. labyrinth, will be an Important part of The
! Suns work for 1879. attsf9 3l
