The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1878-10-31
The sum for 1873

THE SUN will be prin cd every day during
the year 10 come. It's purpose and met Iod will
be the same as in the past: so present all the
news in a readable shape, and to tell the truth
though the heavens fail
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 news
paper need have. That j. the policy which has
won for mis- newspaper the confidence and
friendship of a wider constituency than was
ever enioN ed by any other American journal.
tn t SIN is the newspaper or the people
1t is not for the ricn man against the poor
man, or for tn noor ma n against tn. rich man
bnf it seeks 10 do Ian:, tmSlicc TO All Interests
il the community II il not ti- organ of any
pt.Isnh, class, sect or party, There need be no
myS' try about its loves and hat"~ 1t is for he
honest Democrat as against the dishonest Re
punlican, and for The honest r nublican as
against the dishonest Democrat. II does not
tax il Gu" from he utTeran, Is of any politi-
ella" or political organization. II gives it's sup
in agreement with I!. Constitution and with
the principles upon which this Republic was
| tuition and constitutional principles violat-
rd-as IN the outrageous conspiracy OF 1876, by
Presidents Office, where he still remains-it
speaks out for The right. That is THE SUMS
idea OF independence. In this respect there
will be change in its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty hatred
oi faSc5lS, frauds, ana humbugs of all sorts and
sizes. 1t hopes 10 deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1879, than in 1873. 1877, any year
gone by. THE SUN will continue TO shine on
/ the wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people. THE SUN does
not propose to make itself in 1879 magazine of
ancient history. II is printed for the men and
women OF to day, whose concern is schiefiy with
the affairs Of to-day. II has both the DISPOSE
ton and the ability to afford its readers The
promptest, fullest, and most accurate intelli-
gence of whatever in the wide world is worl h
attention. To this end the resources belonging
to well-established prosperity will be literally
employed.
The present disjonted condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty of the future,
| lend an extraordinary 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 Republic will have direct bearing on
! the Presidential election of ISS0-an event
which must be regarded with the most anxious
| interest by every patriotic American, whatever
| his political ideas or allegiance. To these ele-
ments of int crest may be added the probability
that the Democrats will control both houses of
CONGRESS, the increasing fcebleneSS of the fraud
| ulent Administration, aud the spread and
strengthening everywhere of q healthy abhOr-
renee of fraud in any form. TO present with
| accuracy and clearncSS the exact situation i'll
each of its varying phases, and to eXpound, ac-
| cOIding to its weiI-known methods, the princi
pies that should guide us through the labyrinth
will he an important part of THE SUNS work
for 1879.
We have the means of making THE sun, a!
n political, a literary and "a general newspaper
more entertaining and more useful than eve
before; and we mean to apply them freely.
