THE SUN FOR 1879.

THE Sux will be printed every day during the
year 10 come. It's purpose and method win be
the same as in the past: To present all the news
in q readable shape, and TO tell the truth though
the heavens fall.
The Sux has been, II, and win continue 10 be
Independent of everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions Of duty That
Is the only policy which On honest newspaper need
have. That Is the policy which has won for this
newspaper the confidence and friendship Of a
wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
other American Journal.
The Sex Is the newspaper for the people. II
Is not for the rich man against the poor man, or
Tor the poor man against the rich man, but II
seeks 20 do equal justice to all interests in the
commun;ty. II Is not the organ Of any person,
class, sect or party. There need be no mystery
about its loves and bates. IL Is for the honest
man against the rogues every time. tits for the
hoaest Democrat Is against the dishonest Re
publican, and for the honest Republican as
against the dishonest Democrat. II does not
take It's cue from the atteranccs Of any politician
or political organization. IL gives its support
unreservedly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the princi-
pies upon which this Republic was founded for
the people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
stitutionai principles are violased-as in the out
ragcous conspiracy Of 1876, By which man not
elected was placed in the President Office, where
ne stills remains-is speaks out for the right
That Is TEE SUx's idea ofindependence. In this
respect there win be no change in its programme
for 1879.
The Srx has fairly earned the hearty hatred Of
rascaIs, frauds, and humbugs Of all sorts and
sizes Il hopes 10 deserve that hatred not less in
the year 1879, than in 1878, 1877, or any year
gone by. The SUs will continue 10 shine on the
wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While thelessons OF thepast should be constant
" kept before the people, The SUx does not pro-
nose 20 make itself in 1879 . magazine Of ancient
of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with the az
fairs Of to-day. IL has both the disposition and
the ability 10 afford its readers the promptest,
fullest aud most accurate intelligence Of whatev-
er In the wide world Is worth attention. To this
end the resources belonging TO weil-established
prosperity win be literally employed.
The present disiointed condition Of parties IN
this country, and the uncertainty Of the future,
lend an extraordinary significance 70 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 hare direct bearing on the Presi-
DENTAL election Of 1sS0-an event which must be
regarded with the most anxious interest by eve
~ patriotic American whatever bis political
ideas or allegiance. To these elements Of inter-
est may be added the probability that the Demo-
crafts will control both houses OF Congress, the
increasing feebIeness Of the fraudulent Admins
tration. and the spread and Strengthening every
where Of . healthy adherence Of fraud In any
form. To present with accuracy and elearness
The exact situation In each Of is varying phases
and 70 expound. according 70 its weli-known
methods, the principles that should guide ne
through the labyrinth, win be an important part
Of The Suns work Cor 1879.
