NEWSPAPERS.
THE SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method Will be the
same as in the past: To present all the news in
readable shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
The sun has been, is, and will continue to be
independent of everybody and everything save
is the only policy which an honest newspaper
need have. That is the policy which has won for
this newspaper the confidence 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 for the rich man against the poor man, or for
the poor man against the rich man, but it seeks to
do equal justice toall 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 is for the honest man against the
rogues every time. 1t is for the honest Democrat
as against the dishonest Republican, and for the
honest Republican as against the dishonest Demo-
crat 1t does not take its cue from the utterances
of any politician or political organization. 1t gives
its support unreservedly when men and measures
are in agreement with the Constitution and with
the principles upon which the Republic WAS
founded for the people Whenever the Constitu-
ton and constitutional principles are ylolated-as
in the outrag Gus conspiracy OF 1876 by which
man not elected was placed in the Presidents Of
flee, ,swhere he still remains-t speaks out for the
right. That is THE SUNS idea OF independence
In this respect there will be no change in its pro-
gramme for 1879.
THE sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred of
ras ais, frauds, and humbugs OF all sorts and
sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less in
the year 1879, than in 1875 1871 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 constant
ly kept before the people, THE SUN does not pro-
pose to make itself in 1879 a magazine OF ancient
to-day, whose concern is chiefly with the affairs of
to dav. 1t has both the disposition and the abil-
iy t. afford its readers the promptest fullest and
! most accurate intelligence OF whatever in the wide
i ia attention
sources belonging to well-established prosperity
| will be literally employed.
The pr sent disjoiHted condition OF parties in
| this country, and the uncertainty of the future,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events of
| the coming year The discussions of the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
ments OF the leaders in every section of the Re
| public will have q direct bearing on the Presi-
Dental election of 18S0-an event which must be
regarded with the most anxious interest by every
patriotic American 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 feeble
ness OF the fraudulent Administration, and the
spread and strengthening everywhere Of healthy
| abhorrence of fraud in any form. To present with
accuracy and cearness the exact situation in each
of its varying phases, and to expound according
to it's well-known methods, the principles that
should guide us through the labyrinth will be an
important part of THE SUNS work for 1879.
| We have the means of making THE SUN, as q
political, literary and general newspaper, more
entertaining and more userul than ever before
and we mean to apply them freely.
