THE Sun for. 1879.

THE sun will be printed every day du-
ring the year to come. Its purpose and meth
cd will be the same as in the past: TO present
all the news iG a readable shape, and to tell
the truth though the heavens all.
The Sun has been, is, and will continue to
be independent tofeverybody and everything
save the Truth and its own convictions of du-
ty. That is the only policy which an honest
newspaper need have. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the conf
dence and 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
terests in the community. 1t is not the organ
OF any person, cluss, 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 J'emocrat as
against the dishonest Republican, and for the
honest Republican as against the dishonest
Democrat 1t does not take its cue from the
utterances ofany politician or political organ
ization. | 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-
tutional principles are violated-as in the out
IilSt'u- conspiracy Vi lCiu, " NuICL a LIisili
not elected was placed in the Presidents Of
fee where he still rem"ins--it speaks out for
the right. That is The Suns idea 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 humhugs of all sorts
and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not
less in the year 1879, than i'll 1876 1871 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 a mag
azine of ancient history. 1t is 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
readers the promptest, fullest, and most ac-
curatr 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 diSjCinted coudition of parties |
in this country, and the uncertainty of the fu-
ture, lend an extraordinary significance to the |
events ofIha cu:ljuG 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 II direct |
bearing on the Presidential election of 1880
an event which must be regarded with the |
most anxious Interest by every patriotic |
American, whateverIhis political ideas or allie
glance. Tothese elements of interest may be |
added the probability that the Democrats will
control both houses ofC Congress, the increasing |
feebl,. ess of the fraudulent Administration, |
and the spread and Strengthening everywhere |
of healthy alb orrence of fraud in any form. |
To pres mt with accuracy and clearness the !
exact situation in each of its varying phases, |
and to eXpound, according to its well-knuwn |
the principles that thould guide us
through the labyrinth, will be an important
part of The sun 5 work for 1879.
