Il. H. ONSTOTT,
the GUN F0a 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as IN the past
To present all the news in readable
shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall,
THE SUN has been, Ii, and will con-
tinue to be independent OF everybody and
everything save the Truth and its own
convictions of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
tidence and friendship of "a wider constitu-
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
American journal.
THE Sun is the newspaper for the poo
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 do equal u.s.
tice to all classes in the community 1t Is
not tho organ OF any person, class, sect or
party. There need be no mystery about
its loves and hates. 1t is fof tie honest
man against the ro8ues every time. 1t ID
for the honest Democrat as against tho
dishonest Republican, and for the honest
Republican as against the dishonest Dem
ocrat. 1t does not take its cue from the
utterances of any politician or political or
ganization. 1t gives It's support unreeery-
edly when men or measures are III agres-
ment with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic Yves,
founded for the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
acy of 1876, by which a man not elected
was placed in the Presidents Office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is THE SUMS idea of inde-
pendence. Ia this respect there will bs No
change in its programme for 1879.
THE sun has fairly earned the nearly
hatred of rascals, frauds and humbugs OF
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not less in the year 1879 than
in 1878, 1877, er any year gone by. THE
sun will continue to shiue on the wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, HE
SUN does not propose 10 make itself III
1879 magazine of ancient history. 1T Is
printed for the men and .Temen of to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs Vi
to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the prompts
est, fullest and most accurate intelligence
of whatever in the wide world is worth at
tention. To this end the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity viii be
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition Of pat
ties in this country and the uncertainty OF
the future lend an extraordinary signih-
oance to the events Of the coming year.
and acts of Congress, and the movements
OF the leaders i'll every section OF the Re-
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of lS60-an event
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
ican, whatever his political ideas or slle-
glance. To these elements OF interest may
be added the probability that the Demo-

sent with accuracy and olearness the exact
situation in each OF its varying phases, ana
to expound, according to its well-lnown
methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, Will be an I'M
portant part OF THE SUMS work for 1879.
