| newspaper need have. This is the policy
| which has won for this newspaper the conf
dence and friendship of a wider cons ituency
than was ever enjoyed by any other American
| Journal.
THE Sun is the newspaper for the people. Il
| is not Tor the rich man against the poor man
| or for the poor man against the rich man, buI
| it seeks TO do equal justice TO all interests in
| the community. Ii is not the organ of any
/ person, class, sect or party. There need be nc
! 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 as against the dishonest Democrat.
| Ii does not take its cue from the utterances of
any politician or political organization. LII
gives its support unreservedly when men or
measures are in agreement with the ConStltu-
ton and with the principles upon which this
Republic founded for the people. hem
ever the Constitution and constitutional prln-
ciples are violated as in the outrageous con-
: tracy of 1876, by which man not elected
was placed in the Presidents off e. where he
still remains-it speaks out for he right. That
is The Suns idea of independence In this
res pect there viii be no change IN Its pro-
gramme for 1879.
The Sun has farly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals, frauds and humbugs of all sorts
and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not
less IN the year 1879, than in 1873 1877, or any
year gone by. The Sun will continue to shine
ON the wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a magazine
of ancient history. It's 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 TO well-establis hed prosperity will be
literally employed
The present disjointed condition of parties
in this country, ami 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 viii have 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
feebleness of the fraudulent Admins tration,
and the spread and streng thenlng everywhere
OF healthy adherence of fraud in any form.
To present with accuracy and clearness the
exact situation in each of its varying phases,
and to expound, according to its well-known
the principles that should guide us
through the labyrinth. viii be important
part of THE Suns work for 1879.
