THE sun for 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day du-
ring the year to come. Its purpose and meth
cd will be the same as in the past: To present
all the news in readable shape, and to tell
the truth though the heavens lall.
The Sun has been, is and will continue to
be independent ofevery ybody and everything
save the Truth and its own convictions of du-
ty. That is the only policy which an honest
newspaper need have. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the conf
dence and friendship of a wider constituency
than was ever enjoyed by any other Ameri-
can journal.
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 in
terests 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 man against the rogues
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 its cue from the
utterances ofany politician or political organ
ization. 1t gives its support unreServediy
when men or measures are in agreement with
the Constitution and with the principles upon
which this Republic was founded for the peo-
pie. Whenever the Constitution and constr
tutional principles are vioidted-as the out
rayeous conspiracy of 1876 by which MAN
not elected was placed in the Presidents of
flee, where he still remains-it speaks out fol-
the right That is The Suns idea of Indepen
deace In this respect there will be no change
in its programme for 1873.
/ The sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals frauds, and humbugs of all sort:
and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred moi
less in the year 1879, than in 1876, 1877, or any
year gone by. The Sun will continue t
shine on the wicked with unmitigated bright
ness.
While the lessons of the past should be con
Stantly kept before the people, The sur
does not propose to make itself IN 1879 mag
azine of ancient history 1t is printed for tn,
men and women of to-day, whose concern i
chiefly with the affairs of to-day. 1t has boti
the disposition and the ability to afford it
readers the promptest, fullest, and most &C
curate intelligence of whatever in the wild
world is worth attention. To this end th
resources belonging to well-established pros
perity will be literally employed.
The present disjointed condition of partie:
:, in this country, and the uncertainty of the fu
ture, lend an extraordinary significance to th
events of the coming year. The discussion:
of the press, the debates and acts of Congress
and the movements of the leaders in every
section of the Republic will have direc
bearing on the Presidential election of 1880
an event which must be regarded with tn
y
American, whatever his political ideas or allie
glance To these elements of interest may b
added the probability that the Democrats will
leontrol both houses ofCOngress, the increasing
feebleness of the fraudulent Administration
and the spread and siren gthening everywher
; of healthy adherence Of fraud in any form
, To present with accuracy and clearness tn
exact situation in each of its varying phases
and to expound, according to its well-knowl
; methods, the principles that thould guide u
/ through the labyrinth, will be an importan
( part Of The Suns work for 1879.
q We have the means of making The Sun, a
: political, a literary and general newspaper
more entertaining and more useful than eve
before; and we mean to apply them freely.
