The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1878-12-17
THE SUN FOR 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day during
the year to come, its purpose and method
viii be the same IS in the past: To present
all the news Ia readable shape and to tell
the truth though the heavens fall.
The Sun has been. is, and will continue to
be independent Of every body and every
thing save the Truth and its own convictions
Of duty. That is the only policy which an
honest paper need have. That is the policy
which has won for this paper the confidence
and friendship of wider constituency than
was ever enjoyed BY any other American
Journal.
The snn is the newspaper for the people.
# is not fof the rich man against the poor
man, or for the poor man against the rioh
man, but 1t seeks to do equal justice to all
organ Of any person, class. sect or party
There need be no mystery about It's loves
aud hates. It Is for the honest man against
the rognes every time. tits for the honest
Democrat a. against the dishonest Republi.
can and for the honest Republican IS against
the dishonest Democrat II does not take
its cue from the utterances Of any politician
or political organization. 1t gives It's sup
port upreservedly when men or measur 8
are in agreement with the Constitution and
with the principles upon which this Repub-
lie was founded for the people. Whenever
the Constitution and constitutional priuci-
Piles are vic ated-- as in the outrageous con-
spiracy Of 1876. BY which man not elected
was placed in the Presidential office where
he still remains-it speaks ont for the right.
That is The SUMS idea Of Independence. In
this respect there will be no change in Us
programme for 1878,
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty ha-
tired Of rascals, frauds and humbugs of all
sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that ha-
tired not less in the year 1879, than in 1878,
1877, or any year gone by. The Sun will
continue TO shine on the wicked with un-
mitigated brightness.
While the lessons Of the past should BE-
constantly kept before the people. The Sun
does not propose TO make itself in 1879 q
magasine Of ancient history. It is printed
for the men and women of to-day, whose
concern is chiefly with the affairs of to-day.
It has the disposition and the ability to af-
ford its readers the promptsst. fullest and
mos, accurate intelligence Of whatever in
the wide world is worth attention. To this
end the resources belonging TO vel, estab-
lished prosperity will be literally emplo yed.
Ths present disjointed condition Of parties
In this country. snd the uncertainty OF the
future, lend an extraordinary significance to
the events of the coming year, The discus
sious Of the press, the debates aud acts oi
Congress, and the movements of the lea iera
in every section of the Republic will have Z
of l880-an event that must be regarded
with the most anxious interest BY every
patriotic American, whatever his political
ideas or allsgianes. To these elements
Of interest may be added the probability
that the Democrats viii control both Eouses
the increasing fseblensss of the fraudulsn
Administration, and the spread aud strength
ening every where Of healthy sbhorrenc,
of fraud in any form. To present with &C
curscy and clearpess the exact situation i,
each Of It's varying phases. and to expound
according to It's we'll known methods, th,
principles that should guide US through th.
labyrinth will be An important part of Th,
Suns work for 1879. 57 -
