THE SUN FOR 1879.

TIE 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. is, and will continue to be
Independent OF everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions of duty. That
is the only policy which an honest newspaper
need have. That is the policy which has won for
This newspaper the confidence and friendship of q
wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
other American journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the people. 1t Is
not for the rich man against the poor man. or for
the poor man against the rich man, but 1t seeks to
do equal justice to all interests in the community
party. There need be no mystery about its loves
and hates. It, is for the honest man against the
fogues every time. 1t is for the honest Democrat

honest Republican as against the dishonest Demo

In this respect there will be no change in its pro-
Eramme for 1874
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty hatred of
ras ais, frauds, and humbugs OF all sorts and
Bizes 1t hopes ~ 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 unmitgated brightness
While the lessons OF the past should be constant
ly kept before the people, The sun does not pro-
pose to make itself in 1879 magazine of ancient
history. 1t is printed for the men and women OF
to day. whose concern is chiefly tn the affairs of
10 day. Ii has both the disposition and the abil-
ity to afford its readers the promptest fullest and
most accurate intelligence OF whatever in the wide
world is worth attention: To this end the re-
sources belonging TO well-established prosperity
will be literally employed.
The pr mt dis0nted condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty OF the future,
lend an extraordinary significance 10 tie events Of
the coming year. 1he discussions of the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
mens of the leaders in every section OF the Re-
public will have a direct bearing on the Presi-
dental election of lSS0-an event which must be
regarded with the most anxious interest by every
patriotic American, 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 feeble
ness of the fraudulent Administration, aud the
sprcad and strengthening everywhere of a 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 methods, the principles that
should guide us through the labyrinth, will be an
important part of The SUNS work for 1879.
