The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-12-18
THE SUN FOR 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day during
| the year to Come lis purpose and method
| Will be tie same In the past: To present
all he news in a readable shape and to tell
| the truth though the heavens fall.
| The SUN has been, is, and will continue to
| be indepe ndent of every body and everything
save the Truth aud its own convictions of du-
| ty. That is the only policy which an honest
| newspaper need have. This is the policy
which has won for this new paper the conf
dence and friendship OF a wider cons ituency
| than was ever enjoyed by any other American
| journal.
THE Sun is the newspaper for the people. 1t
| is not for the rich man gaIust the poor man,
or for the poor man against the rich man, but
| 1t seeks to do equal justice TO all interests in
| the community. Ii is not the gan of any
person. class sect party. There need be no
mystery about its loves and hates | is for
the honest man against the rogues every time.
1t is Or the honest Democrat as against the
dlsho !est Republican, and for the honest Re-
publican as against the dishonest Democrat
Ii does not take its cue from the utterances of
any politician or political organization. 1t
gives its support unreservedly when men or
measures are in agreement with the COnstitu-
tion and with the principles upon which this
Republic was fouud ed for the people. When
ever the Constitution and constitutional prin-
clples are violated as in the outrageous con-
s. tracy of 1876 by which not elected
was placed in the Presidents off e. where he
still remains-it speaks OUT for the right. That
is The Suns idea of independence In this
respect there Will be no change in its pro-
gramme for 1879.
The SUN has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals, frauds and humbugs of ali sorts |
and sizes. 1t hopes to d erve that hatred not |
less IN the year 1879 than in 1873 1871 or any
year gone by. The Sun will continue to shine |
on the wicked with unmitigated brightness.
W lille the lessons of the past should be con
stantly kept before the people, THE Sun does |
not prop Sc to make itself in 1879 a magazine |
of ancient histo V. Its printed for the men /
and women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly |
tO-da ha hnth no
disposition and the ability to afford Its read
ers the promptest, fullest and most accurate |
intelligence OF whatever iii the wide world is |
worth attention. To this end the resources be-
longing to well-establis prosperity will be |
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition of parties
in this country, AMI the uncertainty of the |
future, lend an extraordinary significance to
the events of the coming year. The discus
siOns of the press, the debates and acts of |
Congress, aud the movement of the leaders in
every section of the Republic will have a di-
rect bearing on the Presidential election of /
lS00-an event which must be regarded with
most anxious interest by every pa riotic Amer
Ican whatever his political ideas or allegiance.
To these elements of in crest may be added
the probability that The Democrats will con-
troll both houses of Congress. the increasing
feebleness of the fraudulent Administration,
and the spread and Strengthening everywhere
OF healthy adherence of fraud in any form
To present with accuracy and clearness the
exact situation in each of its varying phases,

part of THE suns work for 1873
We have the means of making The SUN as |
a political literary and general newspa-
per, more entertaining and more useful than |
ever before; and we mean to apply them freely. |
