The Pascagoula democrat-star., 1878-11-15
THE Sun FOR 1879.

ne Sun VIII be printed every day dur
ing the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as in the present
10 present all the news in readable shape,
and to tell the truth though the heavens
fall.
The Sun has been, is. and viii continue
! to be independent of everybody and every
thing save the Truth and its own convic-
/ tions of duty. That is the only policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
iidence and friendship of wider con-
stltnency than was ever enjoyed by any
! other American Journal
The sun ~ the newspaper for the peO-
| pie. 1t is not for the rich mau against the
/ poor man, OF for the poor man against the
rich man, but it seeks to do equal Justice
to all interests i'll the community. 1t is
not the organ If any person, class, sect or
! party. There need he no mystery about
ITS loves and hates. IL is for the honest
man against the rOgueS every time. 1t Is
| torthe honest Democrat as against the dis
honest Republican, aud for the honest Re
publican as against the dishonest Demo
crat. 1t does not take its cue from the
utteranccS Of any politician or political
organization. 1t gives its support unre-
scrredly when men or measures are in
agreement with the Constitution and with
the prlciples upon which this Republic
was founded for TIE people. Whenever
| the Constitution and constitutional priu-
cipIes are violatcd-as in the outrageous
conspiracy of 1876 by which IL man not
elected was placed in the Presidents OF.
flee, whore hr stills rrnains-it speaks out
for the right That is the suns idea of
Independence. In this respect there will
be no change in the programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty
hatred of raScals, frauds and humbugs of
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that hatred not less i'll the year 1879, than
in lo7o, 1877, or any year gone by. The
sun will continue to shine up the wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, the
sun does not propose to make itself in
1879 magazine of ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and women of to- lay,
whose concern is chiefly with he affairs Of
to-day. Ii has both the disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the prompt
test, fullest, and most accurate intelligence
of whatever i'll the wide world is worth at
tontion. To this end the resources be-
longing to well-established prosperity will
be literally employed
The present disjointed condition of par
ties in his country, and the uncertainty
niticanCc to theevents of the comiuy year
The discussion Of the press, and the de-
bates and acts of Congress, aud the move
ments Of the leaders in every section of
the Republic Will have a direct bearing on
the Presidential election of lS-0-an event |
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic AmeTi |
can, whatever his political ideas or al le-
glance. To these elements OF interest NAV |
be added the probability that the Demo |
Gratis will control both houses of Congress,
the increasing teebleness of the fraudulent |
Administration, and the spread and |
strengthening everywhere of a healthy |
adherence of fraud in any form. To pre-
sent with accuracy and clearness the ex-
act situation in each of its varying phases,
and to eXpound. according to its we'll
known methods, the principles that should
guide us through the labyrinth, will be an
important part of the SUNS work for 1879.
We have the means of making the sun,
as political, "A literary and a general
more entertaining and more
useful than ever before; and we mean to
apply them freely.
