LITERARY.
the SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every Gay
during the year to como. Its purpose anc
method will be the same as in the past:
To present all tho news in readable
shane, 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 aud Its own
oo6victions Of duty. That is the policy
6dence and friendship Of Wider constitu-
ency than was ever enjoyed BY any other
American Journal.
THE SUN ia the newspaper for the peo-
ple. It is not for the rich man against
The Door 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 is
not the organ Of any person, class, sect OF
party. There need be no mystery about
IL 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
uttsrances Of any politician Or political Or
Ranixation. tgiyes its support unreserv-
sf1ly when men or measures are III agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
pripciples upon when this Republic was
founded ior the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
scy Of 1876, by which a man not elected
was paced in the Presidents Office. where
be still remains--it speaks out for the
right. That Is THE SUMS idea Of inde-
pendence. In this respect there will be no
change in it's programme for 1879.
TIE sun has fairly earned the ne arty
hatred Of rascals, frauds and humbugs OF
ali sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not less in the year 1879 than
In 1878. 1877, or any year. gone by. THE
SUA will continue to shine on the wicked
with unmitgated brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, The
SUN does not propose to make itself in
1879 magazine Of ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and 7emen Vi to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs OF
to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the prompt
ct, fullest and most accura'e intelligence
Of whatever in the wide world Is worth at
teution. To this end the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition OF par,

methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, will oe an I'M
