THE SUN FOR 1879.


THE SUN will be printed every day during
the year TO GENE Its purpose ana method
will be the same As IN the past To preseni
All the news in readable shape, and TO tel
the truth though the heavens fall.
The SuS has been, Is aad win continue to
be indepe ndent of every body and every thi az
save the Truth aud its own convictions of du-
~. That Is the only policy which an honest
which has won for this newspaper the conf
denee ami friendship of 3 wider cons ituency
than was ever enjoyed by any other American
journal.
THE SUI is the newspaper for the people Il
is not for the rich man against the poor man,
for The poor against the rich man, but
1t seeks TO do equal justice TO all interests 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. l. 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 Re
publican a against the dishonest Democrat.
Il does not take its cue from the utterances OF
any politician or political organization 1t
gives its support unreservedly when men or
measures are in agreement with the Constita-
ton and with the principles upon which this
Republic was founded for the people. When
ever the Constitution and constitutional prin-
clples are violated as IN the outrageous con-
s.iraey of 1876, by which a man not elected
placed the Presidents off e. where he
still remains-it speaks out for The right. That
is The Suns idea of independence. In this
gramme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals, frauds and humbugs of all sorts
and sizes 1t hopes 10 deserve that hatred not
less the year 1879, than in 1873, 1877, or any
year gone by. The SUs will continue to shine
on the wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should he con-
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a magazine
of ancient history. Its printed for the men
and women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly
with the affairs of to-day. 1t has both the
disposition and the ability to afford Its read
ers the promptest, fullest and most accurate
intelligence of whatever III the wide world is
worth attention. To this end the resources be-
longing 10 well-establshed prosperity will be
literally employed
The present disjointed condition of parties
in this country, ana the uncertainty of the
future, lend an extraordinary significance to
the events Of the coming year. The discus
sions of the press, the debates and acts of
Congress, and the movement of the leaders in
every section of the Republic will have "A di-
rect bearing on the Presidential election of
lSS0-an event which must be regarded with
most anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, whatever his political ideas or allegiance.
To these elements of interest may be added
the probability that the Democrats will con-
troll both houses of Congress, the increasing
feebIeness of the fraudulent Administration,
and the spread and strengthening everyw here
of healthy adherence of fraud in any form.
To present with accuracy and cIearness the
exact situation in each of its varying phases,
and to expound, according to its well-knOwn
methods, the principles that should guide us
through the labyrinth. will be important
part of THE Suns work for 1879.

per, more entertaining and more useful than
