St. Landry democrat., 1879-07-05
TIE Sssse for 1870.

The Sun will be printed every day during the
year to come. It's purpose and method Will be
the same as in tn" past: To present all the
news i'll u readable shape, and to tell the truth
thought tic 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.
Ihttt Is the only policy which an honest new
paper need have. That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of a wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed by any American Journal.
The sun IL the newspaper for the people. It
Is not for the rich man against the poor man, or
/ Tor The poor man against the rich man, but ii
seeks to DO equal justice TO all interests i'll com
mllnlty. II is not the organ CT any person. clasc,
sect or party. There need be no mySery about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rogues every time. It 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 ntteranccs of any politician or politi-
ca! organization. 1t gives its support unreserV-
cdly when men Or measures are Ill agreement
with the Constitution and with the i1rincIplcs
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and coli
sttltion principles are violated-sS in the out
elcotcd was placed in the Presidents office
where he still renans-it speaks ont for the
right That is The Suns idea OF independence.
III this respect there will be no change i'll It's
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
OF raScalS, frauds, and h'mbugs, OF all sorts and
size: 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
i'll the year 1879, than in 1873, 1877, or any year
gone by. The SunWill continue to shin on the
wicked with unmitgated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should he con
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a magazine
Of ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
I Women OF to-day; whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of today. 1t has both the DISPOSE
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
prOmptest, fullest, and most accurate iDteli-
gence OF .Whateverin the wide world is worth at
l>,J,,
welcstablished prosperity will be literally en-
ployed.
The present disiointed condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertant OF the fllrture
lend an extraordinary Significance to the events
OF the comngy year To discussion of the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
mGnts OF It the leaders in every section Of the Re-
public will have direct bearing on the Pres-
DENTAL election of 1860-an event which must
be regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patrotic AMERICAN, whatever his political
ideas or allegiance. The these elements of in
terest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses OF Congress,
the increasing feehleness of the fraudulent Adj
and the spread and strengthening
every where OF healthy adherence OF fraud
in any FORM To present with accuracy and
clearness the exact situation an each of its
varying phases. and to cXpOund, according to
It's Well-known methods, the principles that
should guide lis through the labyrinth, will be
an important part of The Suns work for 1879.
