rascals frauds, and humbugs OF all sorts ana
sizes IL hopes to descrye that hatred not less in

While the lessons of the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people, the sun does not
propose TO make self in 1879 "a magazine OF an
Gent history. II is printed for the men and NO
men of to-day. whose concern Is chiefly oi the AZ

fullest and most accurate intelligence OF whatever
IN the wide world IS worth attention. 10 TINS I'M,

The present disjomtcd condition of parties IN
this country, and the uncertainty OF the futuie'
I lend AN extraordinary significance to the events
of the coming year. The discussions of the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
mcnts OF the leaders IN every section OF the Ee-
public will have a direct bearing ON the Presiden-
tial election of lSSO-an event which must be re-
I garlcd with the most anxious interest by every
patriotic American, whatever his political ideas OF
allegiance. To these elements of interest may be
added the probability that the Democrats will con-
troll both houses of Congress, the increasing fee
b!encss of the fraudulent Administration, and
the spread and strengthening everywhere of n
healthy abhOlcn of fraud in any form. To pre-
sent with accuracy and clearncss the exact sltua-
ton IN each of its varying phases and To cNpound
according 10 its wcll-knOwn methods, the princi-
pies that should guide MS through the labyrinth,
8 viii be an important part Of the Suns work for
1879.
