ty That IS the only policy which an homes;

| which has won for this newspaper the conf

IHE SUN Is the newspaper for the people. Il

| II seeks TO do equal justice TO all interests in
| the community. Ii Is net the organ of any

The honest man against the rogues every time.
| l. Is for the honest Democrat against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest Re-
publican as againSr the dishonest Democ rat
| Ii does not take its 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 Cons titu-
ton and with the principles upon which this
Republic was founded for the people. When
ever the Constitution and constitutional prin-
clples are violated as in the outra geous con-
s2iraey of 1876, by which not elected
was placed IN the Presidents off e. where he
still remalns-it speaks out for the right. That
is The Suns idea of independence. In this
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, 1871, or any
year gone by. The Sun will continue 10 shine
on the wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons OF the past should he
stantly kept before the people THE Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a magazine
of ancient history. ltis 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 read
the promptest, fullest and most accurate
intelligence of whatever inv he wide world is
worth attention To this end the resources be-
longing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present 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
sOns of the press, the debates and acts of
Congress, and the movement of the leaders in
every section of the Republic viii have di-
rect bearing on the Presidential election of
1SS0-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 strengt hening everywhere
of a healthy adherence of fraud in any form.
To present with accuracy and clearness the
exact situation in each of its varying phases, |
and 10 expound, according to its well-known
the principles that should guide US
through the labyrinth. will be an important
part of The Suns work for 1879.
