THE SUN for 1879.

=
THE sun will be printed every day du-
ring the year to come It's purpose and meth
cd will be the same as in the past: To present
all the news in a readable shape and to tell
the truth though the heavens all.
The SUN has been, is, and will continue to
be independent ofeverybody and everything
save the Truth and its own convictions of du-
ty. That is the onl " policy which an honest
newspaper need have. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the conf
dence aad friendship of wider constituency
than was ever enjoyed by any other Ameri-
can journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people.
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 justice to all in
tere its 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 is Tor the honest man against the rogues
every time 1t is for the honest Hemocrat as
against the dishonest Republican, and for the
honest Republican as against the dishonest
Democrat. 1t does net take its cue from the
utterances of any politician or political organ
ization. 1t gives its support unreservedly
when men or measures are in agreement with
the Constitution and with the principles upon
which this Republic was founded for the peo
pie. Whenever the Constitution and consti-
LutiCnai principles are violated-as in the out
rageous conspiracy of 1876, by which a man
not elected was placed in the Presidents Of
flee, where he still remains-it speaks out Tor
the right. That is The Sun sides of lndepen-
deace. 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 1876, 1877, or any
year gone by. The Sun will continue to
shine on the wicked with unmitigated bright
ness.
While the lessons of the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people, The SUN
does not propose to make itself in 1879 mag
azine of ancient history. 1t is printed for the
men and women of to-day, whose cancern is
the disposition and the ability to afford its
readers the promptest fullest, and most ac
curate intelligence of whatever in the wide
world is worth attention. To this end the
resources belonging to well-established pros
perity will be literally employed.
The present disjointed cOudition of parties
in this country, and the uncertainty of the fu
ture, lend an extraordinary significance TO the
events ofthe coming year. The discussions
of the press, the debates and acts of Congress,
and the movements of the leaders in every
section of the Republic will have a direct
bearing on the Presidential election of 1850
an event which must be regarded with the
most anxious Interest Dy every paLTlOIlc
American, whateverlhis political ideas or allie
glance. To these elements of interest may be
added the probability that the Democrats will
control both houses of fCongress, the increasing
feebleness of the fraudulent Administration,
and the spread and strengthening everywhere
of healthy adherence of fraud in any form.
To present with accuracy and clearness the
exact situation in each Of its varying phases,
and to eXpound, according to its well-knuwn
methods, the principles that thould guide us
through the labyrinth, will be an important
part Of The Suns work for 1879.
