THE sun.
1879. NEW YORK. 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day dn-
ring the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as III the past !:
To present. all the news in readable
shape. and to tell the truth though the
heavens tall.
TIE Sun has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be independent of every body
and everything save the Truth and its
own convictions of duty. That is the
only policy which an honest newspaper
need have. That il the policy viii III has
won for this newspaper the confidence
and friendship of wider constituency
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 tor the poor man against
the rich man, but it seeks to do equal
Justice TO all interests in the community.
1t is not tue organ OF any person, ella S.
sect or party. There need be no mys-
terry about its loves and hates. 1t is Tor
the honest man against the rOgues every
time. 1t is tor the honest Democrat as
against the dishonest Republican, ami for
the honest Republican as against tie
its cue from the utt-rances of any poll
ticiau or political organization. 1t gives
its support unreservedly when men or
measures are in agreement with the
Constitution and with the principles up
on which this Republic was founded for
the people. Whenever the Constitution
and constitutional principle, are violated
AS in the outrageous conspiracy of
1876, by which man not elected was
placed in the Presidents Office, where he
still ieinaius--it speaks out for the right.
That is THE Suns idea of Independence.
1t this respect there will be no change
in its programme tor 1879.
HE sun has fairly earned the hearty
hatred OF rascals, frauds, and humbugS
of all sorts and sizes. 1t hope, to de-
serve 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 unmitigated bright
hess.
While 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 women of
to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of TO-DAY. IL has both the
disposition and the ability to afford its
readers the promptest, fullest, and most
accurate intelligence of whatever Ia the
wide world is worth attention. 10 this
end the resources belonging to we'll
established prosperity will be literally
employed.
The present disjointed condition Of
parties III this country, aud the uncer-
tainty of the future, lend an extraordina-
~ significance TO the events Of the COM
ing year The discussions of the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and
the movements of the leaders in every
section of the Republic will have di-
rect bearing on the Pre- ,ideniial election
oflSS0-an event which must be regard
cd 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 in
creasing feebleness of the fraudulent
Administration. and the spread and
strengthening everywhere of healthy
adherence OF fraud in any form. To
present with accuracy and clealness the
exact situation in each of its varying
phases, and to eypound, according to its
well-known methods, the pi incIples that
should guide us through the labyrinth,
will be an important part OF HE Suns
work for 1879.
