The Sun for 1879

The Sun will be printed every day during
the year to come It's purpose and method Will
be the same as in the. past ! o present ali the
news in a readible shape, and TO tell the truth
though The heavens fall,
THE Sun has been, is and will continue to be
independent of everyb body and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions Of duty.
That is the only policy which an honest news
paper need have. That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship OF a wider constituency than was ev-
er enjoyed by any other American Journal.
THE sun is the newspaper for the people
1t is moi for the rich man against the pdor man
or for the poor mau against the rich man, but it
seeks to do equal Justice to all interests in the
comm. unity. 1t is not the organ of any person
class sect or party There need be no mystery
about its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest
man against the rogues every time 1t IL for
the honest Democrat RS against the dishonest
Republican, aud for the honest Republican as
against the dishonest Democrat. 1t does not
take its cue from the utterance Of any political
organization 1t gives its support unreserved-
ly when men measures are IN agreement
with the Constitution aud with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded by the
people Whenever the Constitution and con
slitulional principals are yiolatp6-as in the
outrageous cons piracy of 1876, by which man
not elected was placed in the Presidents office,
where he It'll remains-it speaks out for the
right That is THE SUNS idea of independ
ence. In this respect there will be no change
in its programme for 1879.
The sun has fairly earned the hatred Of ras
Gals, 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 uumitigated brightness
While the lessons Of the past should be con
stauily kept before the people, The SUN does
not propose TO make itself in 1879 a magazine
of ancient history 1t is printed tor the men
aud women OF to day, whose concern is chiefly
with the affairs of to day. 1t has both the dis
position and the ability to afford its readers the
promptest fullest, and most accurate intelligence
of Whatevea in The wide world is worth atten-
ton To this end the resources belonging TO
well established prosperity will be literally
employed.
The present disiunted condition Of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty of the future,
lend an extraordinary snufcance 10 the events
of the coming year. The discussions of the
press, the debates aud acts Of Congress, and
the movements of the leaders in every section
of the Rpbublic will have direct bearing on
the Presidential election Of 1850 an event
interest by every patriotic American, whatever
his political ideas or allegiance To these rle
ments of interest may be added the probability
that the Democrats will control both houses of
Congles the increasing feebeuess ofthr fraud
nlent Administration. and the spread and
Strengthening everywhere Of healthy abhor-
ence of fraud in any form. To present with
accuracy and clearnesr the exact situation in
each of is varying phases aud to expcund, ac
cording TO its well known methods. the princi
pies that should guide us through the labyrinth,
will be an important part of The SUNS work
for 1879

shed separately at Sl.20 year postage paid.
The price of the WEEKLY Sun, eight pages,
fifty six columns, is 81 year, postage paid.
