The SUN for 1879,


THE SUN will be printed every day during
the Year TO come. It's purpose and method will
be the same as in the past 70 present all the
ne VS. in "A 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 everything
save the Trul h and its own convictions of duty.
That is the only policy which an honest news
paper need have. That is The policy which has
won for This newspaper the confidence and
friendship of n wider constituency than was
Yer enjoyed by any other American Journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper Tor the people
1t is not for the rich mau againsi the poor
man, or for the poor man against the rich man,
la the community II rs not Ine organ OF any
person, class sect or party. There need be no
honest Democrat against the dishonest Re
publican, and for the honest Republican as
take its from the utteran, eS of any pOliii-
clan political organization. 1t gives its sup
in agreement with the Constitution and with
the principles upon which this Republic was
founded f9r the people; WhensStr the C2nsti- i,a
ed-as III the outrageous conspiracy OF 1876, by
which man not not elected was placed in the
speaks out for the right. That is THE SUNS
idea OF independence. In this respect there
will be no change in its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty hatred
rascals, frauds, and humpugs of all sorts and
in The year 1879, than in 1878. 1877, or any year
gone by THE SUN will continue TO shine on
While the lessons of the past should be con-
Stantly kept before the leople. THE SUN does
not propos' to make itself in 1879 Il magazine 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 DISPOSE
Uion and the ability 10 afford Its readers he
prom ptesG, fullest, and most accurate intelii-
ssence 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 disointed condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty OF the future,
lend an extraordinary significance 10 the
events of the coming 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 direct b-aring on
the Presidential election of lSS0-an event
which must be regarded with the most an xious
interest by every patriotic American, whatever
his political ideas allegiance. To these ele
meTts of interest may be added the probability
that the Democrats will control both houses of
Com resS, the increasing feebeneSS of the fra aud
ulent tration, aud lhe spread and
strengthening every where of a healthy abhOr-
renee of frand in any form. To present with
accuracy and clearness the exact situation in
cording to its well-known methods the princi-
pies that should guide us through the labyrinth
will be an important part of THE SUNS work
for 1879.
