The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1879-01-15
THE SUN FOR 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day during
the year to csme. It's purpose and method
will be the same in the past: To present
all the news n a readable shape, and TO tell
the truth though the heavens fall.
The SUN has been, is, and will continue to
be independent of every body and every thing
| save the Truth and its own convictions of du-
| ty. That Is he only policy which an honest
| newspaper need have. This is the policy
which has won for this new paper the conf
| dence and friendship of a wider cons ituency
| than was ever enjoyed by any other 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 rich man, but
| it seeks to do equal justice 10 all interests in
the community, 1t is not the gan of any
person, class, sect party. There need be no
mystery about its loves and hates. Is for
| the honest man against the rogues every time.
| 1t is for the honest Democrat against the
| dishonest Republican, and for the honest Re
| publican against the dishonest Democrat.
| Il does not take its cue from the utterances of
/ any politician or political organization. 1t
| gives its support unreservedly when men or
| measures are in agreement W tn the Constitu-
| ton and with the princi Piles upon which this
Republic was founded for the people. When
| ever the Constitution and constitutional prln-
| ciples violated as n the outrageous con-
| s. tracy of 1876 by which man not elected
was placed In the President off e where he
still remains-it speaks out for the right That
| is The Suns idea of independence In this
respect there will be change in its pro-
| gramme for 1879
The sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
| of rascals, frauds and humbugs of ali sorts
| and sizes 1t hopes to deserve 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 brightness.
While the lessons of the past should he
stantly kept before the people, THE Sun does
| not propose to make itself in 1879 a magazine
of ancient histo y: Its printed for the men
and women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly
| with the affairs of to-day. 1t has both the
| disposition and the ability to afford Its read
ers the promptest. fullest and most accurate
| intelligence OF whatever III the wide world is
worth attention. To this end the resources be-
| longing to well-established prosperity will be
| literally employed.
The present disiointed condition of parties
| in this country, AMI the uncertainty of the
| future, lend an extraordinary significance to
| the events of the coming year. The discus
sions of the press, the debates and acts of
Congress, and the movement of the leaders in
every section of the Republic viii have di-
rect bearing the Presidential election of
| lSS0-an event which must be regarded with
most anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, 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 increasing
| feebleness of the fraudulent Admi istration
and the spread and Strengthening everywhere
| OF healthy adherence of fraud IN any form.
| To present with accuracy and clearness the
exact situation in each of its varying phases,
and to expound, according to its well-known
| methods. The principles that should guide US
| through the labyrinth, will be an important
part of THE Suns work for 1879.

per- more entertaining and more useful than
