Y'he Sara for 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method will he
the same is in the past To present all the
news i'll Il readable shape, and to tell the truth
thought the heavens fail.
The Sun has been, is. and will continue to be
independent OF everybody and everything save
the Truth AMI its own convictions Of duty
That Is the only policy which an honest new
paper need have. That lis 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 is the newspaper for the people. 1t
is not for the rich man against the poor man, or
for the poor man AGAINST the re, rich man: out It
nunity. 1t is not the organ of any person, clasc,
sect or party. There need be no mysery about
Lifts loves aud hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rOgues every time tits for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican IS against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take its cue
from the utteranccs of any politician or pOliti-
efily when men or measures are i'll agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people Whenever the Constitution and con-
stitutiOn principles are viOlated-as i'll the out
rageous conspiracy OF 1878, by which man not
elected was placed i'll the Presidents office,
where he still remainS-it speaks out for the
right That is The Suns idea Of independence.
In this respect there will be no change in its
programme for 1879.
The sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
OF rascals frauds, and hunbugs, of all sorts and
size. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1879, than in 1878, 1877 or any year
gone hy. The Sun:will continue to shin on the
wicked with unnitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should he con
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1872 "A magazine
of ancient history 1t Is printed TOT me mel,
the affairs of to-day. 1t has both the DISPOSE
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
