The SUN for 1879

THE SUN will he printed every
L day during the year to come, Its
purpose an mothjd will be the same
rs IN the pas: To present all The
news in Il readable shape, and to tell
the truth though the heavens fail.
TEE SUN has been, isy and will con
tinue to be Independent Of everybody
and everything save the Truth and its
own convictions OF duty. That is the
only policy which an hoaest news
paper need have. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the
confidence and friendship of wider
constituency than was ever enjoyed by
any other American journal.
HE 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. bat ii
seeks to do equal justice to all interests
in the community. 1t is not the organ
of any perssnr class, sect, OF party.
There need be no mystery about its
loves md ha.es. 1t is fos the honest
man against the Io5ues every time.
1t is for the honest Democrat as
against the dishonest Republican, and
! for the honest Republican, as against
the dishonest Democrat. 1t does not
take IT'S cue from the uttcranccs OF
any politician or political organization.
1t gives its support unreservediy
when men OF measures are in agree.
ment with the Constitution and with
the principles upon which this Re-
public was founded for the people.
Whenever the Constitution and CON
stitn,ional principles ale violated--as
III the outrageous conspiracy or 1876,
by which q man not elecoed was placed
in the Presidents oIice, where lie
still remains-lt speak, out for the
right. That is The SUNS idea Of in
Iagpen5enee. In this res, ect there
will be 10 change in its programme
for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the
hearty hatred Of rascals, frauds, and
humbugs Of all sor>5 and sizes. Ii
hopes to deserve that hatred not leas
in the year 1879, than in 1873, 1877,
or any year gone By. The SUx will
contiuue to shine OF the wicked with
unmitigated brightness.
While. the lessons of the past should
be constantly kept before the people,
HE sun does not propose to make
itself in 1879 magazine of ancient
history. II is printed f.r the men an /
women Of to-day, whose concern is
chiefly with the affairs of to-day.
1t has both the disposition and the
ability to afford It's readers the
promYtest, fullest, and most accurate
intelligence of Whatever il the wide
world is worth attention. 10 this end
the resources belonging to weIl-e5tab-
lishs prosperity will be literally
employed.
rhe present disjontod condition Of
parties in this country, and The unccr-
ta!nty Of the future, lend an extra
ordinary Significance to 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 Re-
puoIic will have \ direct bearing on
the Presidential election Of lS80-an
event which must be regarded with
the most anxious interest by every
patriotic American, whatever his polI-
Llcal ideas OF allegiance. 10 these
clements of interest may be added the
probability That the Democrats will
control both houses Of Congress, the
incre lsing feebleness OF tile fraudulent
Administration, and the spread and
stre4 gthenug every here OF healthy
adherence OF trau1 in any form. TO
present with accuracy and clearness
the exact situation III each of its varY-
ing phases, and to eXp0und, according
10 It's well-knoWn methods, tae prin-
cIplcs that should guide Us through
the .abrynth, will be al Important
part OF rHE suns work for 1879.
