The SIN for 1879.

THE SuS will be printed evefy day during
the year to come Its purpose ami method
will be the same as in the past: To pre-
sent all the news in reliable shape, and
to tell the truth though the heavens fall.
THE Sun has been, is, and will continue
t o be Independent OF everybody aud every
thing save the Truth and is own convic-
tions OF duty. That ,s-the only policy
which newspaper need have. That is the
policy which has won for this newspaper
the confidence AMI friendship OF wider
constituency than was ever ENJOY ed by any
other American Journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the people.
II is not for tie rich man against the poor
man, or for the poor man against the rich
man, but il seeks to do equal justice to all
interests in the community. 1t Is not the
organ Of any person. class, sect or party.
There Iced be no mystery about lis loves
aud hates 1t is for the honest .mau against
the rogues every time. 1t is for the honest
Democrat against the dishonest Republi-
can. and for the honest Republican against
the dishonest Tenn Dcrat. 1t does not take
Is cue from the utterances CT ally poiiti-

or anv wear gone by. The Sun will con
tinue m shine on the wicked with unmili-
gated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be
constantly kept before the people, The Sun
does not propose to make itself in 1879 a
| magazine of ancient history. 1t is printed
for ibe men and women of to day, whose
concern is chiefly wi. h the affairs of to-day.
| II has both the disposition and the ability
to afford its readers the promptest, fullest
and most accurate intelligence of whatever
in the wide world is worth attention. IL

established prosperity will be literally EN-.
ployed.
