The Ssss2 for 1879.

The sun will be printed every day durn. the
year to come. Its purpose and method will he
the same as in the past: TO present all the
ncws in readable shape and to tell the truth
| Thought the heavens fall.
| The Sun has been, IS, and will continue to he
! independent OF everybody and everything save
| the Truth and its own convictions of duty.
| That Is the only policy which honest new.
! paper need have That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
! friendship OF d wider constituency than was
| ever enjoyed by any American Journal
| The Sun is the newspaper for the people. 1t
is not for the rich nlan against the poor man. or
Tor the poor maj, against the rich man, but it
seeks to do equal justice TO all Interests in com
munlty. 1t is not the organ OF any person, clase
scet or party. There need he no mysery about
| its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rognes every time II is for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican.
and for the honest Republican as against the
! dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take its cue
from the utterances of any politician or politi-
cal organization. It gives its support unreserv-
etlly when men or measures are in agreement
! with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
stitutiOn principles are violated-as in the ont
rageous conspiracy of 1875 by which man not
elected was placed i'll the Presidents office,
where he still re1nains-it speaks out for the
right. That is The Suns idea OF independence.
| In this respect there will be change in its
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals, frauds and himbugs, of all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1879, than in 1873. 1877, any year
gone hy. The Sun!will continue to shin OH the
wicked with liItmitigated brightness.
Whlic the lessons OF the past should he con
stantly kept before the people, The sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 Il magazine
of ancient history. 1t is printed for the lncn
women OF today, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. Itslas both the disposi-
ton and the ability to affords i3 readers the
promptest,' fullest. and most accurate inteji-

tention. To this end the resource belonging to
weil-cstablished prosperity will he literally en-
playef.

its welllnown methods the principles that
