The sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred OF
rasc,ls frauds, and humbugs OF all sorts ana
sizes. II hopes 10 deserve that hatred not less In
the year 1879, than 1873, 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 con-
stantly kept before the people the sun does not
propose TO make self in 1879 u magazine OF an
cient history. II is printed for the men and wo-
men of to-day. whose concern Is chiefly oi the M,
fairs of to-day. II has both the disposition and
the ability TO afford its readers the promptest,
fullest and most accurate intelligence of whatever
! IN the wide world is worth attention. To this
end the resources belonging to well-established
| prosperity will be literally employed
! The present disjolncd 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 ke-
public will have direct bearing on the Presiden-
iial election of lSS0-an event which must be re-
garled with the most anxious interest by every
patriotic American. whatever his political ideas OF
! allegiance. TO these elements of interest may be
added the probability that the Democrats will con-
troll both houses ut Congress-, the Increasing fee
blencss OF the fraudulent Administration, and
| the spread and strengthening everywhere OF n
healthy adherence Of fraud in any form. Topre-
mt with accuracy and clearness the exact situa..
ton IN each of its varying phases and to eNpound

1879.
