THE SUN FOR 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, is, 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
fidence and friendship of wider constitu'
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
American Journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo.
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 jus
tice to all classes in the community. 1t il
not the organ of any person, class, sect OF
party. There need be no mystery about
| its loves and hates. 1t 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
| 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 its support unreserv-
| edly when men or measures are in agree.
|
principles upon which this Republic was
| founded for the people. Whenever the
! Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir.
acy OF 1876, by which 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 indie
pendence. In this respect there will be ne
change in its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned tile hearty
hatred Of rascals, frauds and humbugs O.
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that hatred not less in the year 1879 thar
in 1878, 1877, or any year gone by. TIL
sun will continue to shine on the wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF the past should b'
constantly kept before the people, TIL
SUN does not propose to make itself il
1879 magazine Of ancient history. 1t il
printed for the men and women Of to-day
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs O
to-day. 1t has both the disposition anC
the ability to afford its readers the prompt
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 will b'
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition OF par
ties in this country and the uncertainty o
the future lend an extraordinary signiti
cance to the events of the coming year
The discussions of the press, the debate!
and acts of Congress, and the movements
OF the leaders i'll every section of the Re
public, will have direct bearing on til,
Presidential election of 1S80-an even
which must be regarded with tho mos
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
! lean, whatever his political ideas or ale
glance. To these elements of interest ma,
be added the probability that the Demo
Gratis WI control both houses OF Congress
the increasing feebleness OF the fraudulent
Administration. and the spread an(
strengthening everywhere OF healthy alb
horrence of fraud in any form. To pre-
sent with accuracy and clearness the exac
situation in each OF its varying phases, ant
to expound, according to its well-knowl
methods, the principles that should guild
us through the labyrinth, will be an I'M
portant part of THE SUMS work for 1879
