rTNHE sun viii be printed every day during
the year to come The purpose and
method will be the same as in the past: To
present all the news in readable shape, and
to tell The truth though the heavens fall.
The Sun has been, is, and will continue to be
independent of everybody and everything
save the Truth and its own convictions OF
duty That is the only policy which an honest
ne wspaper need have. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the conf
dence and friendship of II wider constituency
than was ever enjoyed BY any other American
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 interests in
the community. 1t is not the organ of any
person. class, sect or party. There need be no
mystery about Its loves and hates. 1t is for
the honest mali against the rogues every time.
1t is for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Repub lean, and for the honest Re-
publican as against the dishonest Democrat -
1t does not take It's cue from the utterances of
any politician or political organization. IL
gives its support unreservedly when men or
measures are in agreement with the Constitu-
ton and with the principles upon which this
Republic was founded for the people. When
ever the Constitution and constitutional prin-
clples are violated-as in the outrageous con-
spiracy of 1876, by which a man not elected
was placed in the Presidents office, where he
still remains-it speaks out for the right. That
is The Suns idea Of independence. In this re-
spect there will be no change i'll its programme
tor 1879.
The Sun has fairly earued the hearty hatred
OF rascals, frauds, and humbugs OF all sorts
and sizes 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not
less in the year 1872 than in 1873 1877, or any
year gone by. The Sun will continue to shine
on the wicked with unmitigated brightness

zine of ancient history. 1t is printed for the
men and women of to-day. 1t has both the
disposition and the ability to afford its readers
the prOmptest, fullest, and most accurate in

worth attention. To this end the resources
belonging to well-established prosperity will
be literally employed.
Tie present disjointed condition of parties
In this country, and the uncertainty Of the fu-

that the Democrats will control both houses
