THE SUN FOR 1879.

TIE sus will be printed every day during
the year to GENE. It's purpose and method
will be the same as in the past; To presen.
all the news in a readable shape, and 10 tell
the truth though the heavens fall.
TIE SUS has beeni is, and will continue 70
be indepe ndent of every body and everything
save the Truth aud its own convictions OF du-
ty That is the only policy which an honest
newspaper need have. This Is the PoIey
which has won for this newspaper the conf
dence and friendship of a wider cons itueney
than was ever enjoyed by any other American
Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. 1t
il not for the rich man against the poor man,
or for the poor man against the rich man. eut
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 De 40
mystery about its loves and hates Is ior
The honest man against the rogues every time
Ii is for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest Re
publican as against the dishonest Democrat
Ii does not take its cue from the utteranees OF
any politician or political organization III
gives its support Hnreservedly when men or
measures are in agreement with the Constltu-
ton and with the principles upon which TINS
Republic was founded for the people " mem

ciples are violated az n the outrageous con-
tracy Of 1876, by which man not elected
was placed ia the Presidents ON e. where he
still remains-it speaks out for the right That
respect there will be no change in its pro-
gramme 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 1873, 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 con-
stantIy kept before the people. The Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a magazine
of ancient history. It'll printed for the men
and women of to-day, whose concern IS chiefly
with the affairs of to-day. Ii has both the
disposition and the ability to afford Its read
ers the promptest. fullest and most accurate
intelligence OF whatever III the wide world is
worth attention. To this end the resources be-
longing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed
The presen mt disjointed condition of parties
in this country, and the uncertainty of the
future, lend an extraordinary Significance to
the events of the coming year. The discus
sions of the press, the debates and acts of
Congress, and the movement of the leaders in
every section of the Republic will have di-
rect bearing on the Presidential election of
lSSO-an event which must be regarded with
most anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, whatever his political ideas or allegiance.
To these elements of interest may be added
the probability that the Democrats will con-
troll both houses of Congress. the increasing
feebleness Of the fraudulent Administration,
and the spread and Strengthening everywhere
OF healthy adherence OF fraud in any form.

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 important
