Mexico weekly ledger., 1878-11-07
The ssun For as7a.

The Sun will be printed every day dur
ing the year to curBe. LIS PURPOSE aud
method will be the same rs ia the past:
To present all the news 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 everybody and
everything save the Truth and its own
coiIvieti1ns of duty. That is the only
policy which an honest newspaper need
have. That is the policy which has won
for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of a wider constituency h
was ever enjoyed by any other American
Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not for the rich marIagiiHst the
poor man, or for the poor man against
he rich man, bat it seeks to 10 equal
justice TO all interests in tile community.
1t is not the organ of any person. class,
sect or party. There need be 40 mys-
terry about its loves and hates. 1t is for
the honest man against the roguas every
tine. 1t is for the honest Democrats as
against the dishonest Republican, and
for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take
its cue from the utterances of any politi-
clan or political organization. Ir gives
it's support unreservedly WHEN men or
measures are in agreement with the Con-
stitution and with the principles upon
which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and
constitutional principles are viollted-as
in the outrageous conspiracy OF 1877, by
which a man not elected was placed in
the Presidents Office, where he stills re-
mains--it 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
dislike OF rasc2ls. frauds, aud humbLgs of
all sorts aud sizes.It hopes TO deserve that
hatred not less in the year 1879, Than i'm
1878, 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 a magazine OF ancient history. It is
printed for tue men and women of to-day.
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs
OF to-day. 1t has both the dispoS-
ition aud the ability to afford its read
ers the promptest. fullest. and most accu-
rate intelligence OF whatever in the wide
world is worth attention. 10 this end
the resources belonging to well-estab ish-
ed prosperity will be literally employed.
The present disjoiIled condition of
parties in this country and the uncertain
ty OF the future, lend AL extraordinary
Significance to the events of the coming
year. The discussions / The press, the de-
bates and acts OF Congress. and the move
mrnts OF the leaders in every section of
the Republic will have a direct bearing on
the Presidential election OF lSS0-an event
which must be regarded with the
most anxious interest by every Patriotic
| American. whatever his political Ideas
or Allegiance. TO these Elements OF i'll
terest may be added the probability that
the Democrats will control bath houses of
Congress, the increasing fecbleness of the
fraudulent administration ,allh the spread
and strengthening everywhere of a
healthy abtorrrHcr of fraud in any form.
To present with accuracy and clearIiess
the exact situation in each of its aryiug
phases. and To %cXpOItnd. according 10 It's
well-knOWn methods, the principles that
should guide Us through the lnbyrinth.
