Mexico weekly ledger., 1878-11-28


The Sun will be printed every day-dur
inc the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as in the past;
Te present all the news in 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
convictions 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 than
was ever enjoyed by any other American
Journal.
! The Sun Is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not for the rich man against the
poor man, or for the poor man against
! the rich man, but it seeks to tlo equal
Justice to all interests in the community,
1t is not the organ of any person, class,
sect or party. There need be no my
terry about its loves and hates. 1t is foi
the honest man against the rogrles every
time. 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. 1t gives
its support unreservedly when men oi
measures are in agreement with the Con-
stitution and with the principles upon
which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution ano
constitutional principles are violated-a:
in the outrageous conspiracy oil 1877, BY
which a man not elected was placed II
the Presidents Office, where he stills re
mains--it speaks out for the right. Tha
is The Suns idea of independence. Ii
this respect there will be no change ir
its programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty
dislike Of rascals, frauds, and hllmbhgs o
all sorts and sizes 1t hopes to deserve tha
hatred not less in the year 1879, than il
, 1878, or any year gone by. The Sun viii
continue to shine on the wicked with un
mitigated brightness
While the lessons of the past should b.
constantly kept before the people, Th'
Sun does not propose to make itself II
1879 magazine of ancient history. 1t i
printed for the men and women of to-day
whose concern is chiefly with Che affair
of to-day. 1t has both the dispos
ition and the ability to afford its read
ers the promptest, fullest. and most accu
rate intelligence of whatever in the wild
world is worth attention 70 this cnt

ed prosperity will be literally employed

parties in this country, and the uncertain
ty of the future, lend an eXtraordinar.
significance to the events of the comm!
wear. The discussions ofthe press, the de
bates and acts of Congress, and the move
ments of the leaders in every section 0
} the Republic will have direct bearing oil
the Presidential election OF lSS0-an even
which must be regarded with tn

American, whatever his political idea
