THE SUN FOR 1879.

THE Sun will be printed every day dur
ing 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 every
thing save the Truth and its own convic-
tons of duty. That 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 en-
joyed by any other American Journal
TIE Sun is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 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 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 for the honest
man against the rogues every time. 1t is
for the honest Democrat as against the dis
honest Republican, and for the honest Re
publican as against the dishonest Demo-
crat. 1t does not take its cue from the ut
terances Of any politician or political or
ganization. 1t gives Its support unreser-
