The sun will he printed every. day during the
EnHr to ColttG. Its purpose and method will be
the same It's i'll the past: To present all the
news IN a readable shape, aud 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 and its own convictions OF duty.
That Is tie only y 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 ty any American Journal.
ils' Sun is the newspaper for the people. 1t
is not for the rich man against tile poor man. or
for the poor man against the rich man. but it
seeks to 90 equal Justice to all interests i'll com
lnunity. It is not the organ OF any person, caSe,
sect OF party, There need be no lnyysary about
lis i"V@A A''' ~ ..l!es. It is for the honest man
against TIC rogues every time Its t0t inc honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. It does not take It's cue
from the utteraIces OF any politician Or rollti-
cal organization. 1T gives its support unreserV-
cdly 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-
ragcous conspiracy of 1878, by which man not
elected was placed in the Presidents office,
where he still renains-it speaks out fer the
right That is The Suns idea of Independence,
In this respect there will be no change in its
programme TO" 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
Of raseals, frauds, and humbugs, OF all sorts and
size. II hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1873, than in 1878, 1877, or any year
gone by. The Sun:will continue to shin on the
wicked with unmitisated brightness;
While the lessons Of the past should he con-
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself III 1870 a magazine
Of ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
promptest fullest and most accurate intell-
gence OF yhateverill the wide world is worth at
tenton. 70 this end the resource belonging to
wellestablished prosperity will be literally en-
ployed.
The present diHininted condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty of the furture,
lend an extraordinary Significance to the eTents
dpf the conlngyear. To discussion OF the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
ments OF the leaders in every section OF the Re
p1Dlib Will nave direct bearing on the Presi-
Dental election OF 1SSQ-an event which must
be regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic 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 feehieness of the fraudulent Ad-
ml!istrttion, and the spread and strengthenin"
everywhere of healthy adherence of fraud
III any form. To present with accuracy and
clearness the exact situation an each OF its
varying phases. and to eXpouEG, according to
It's WellknoWn methods the principles that
should guide us through the labyrinth will be
an important part of The Suns work for 1879
we nave tlie means OF making The sun, as o
political, a literary and q general newspaper
more entertaining and more useful than ever
nett,rei nnd we mean to apply them freely.
