THE SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during the year to como. Its purpose and
method will be the same as In the past
To present all the news in readabl,
shape, and to tell the truth though TIN
heavens fall.
THE SUN has been, is, and will con
tinue to be Independent of everybody anC
everything save the Truth and its OWL
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con
fidence and friendship of wider constitu
ency than was ever enjoyed by any othel
American Journal.
THE sun is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 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 JUS
tice to all classes in the community. 1t is
not the organ of any person, class, sect or
party. There need be no mystery about
Its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest
man against the rogues every time. II is
for the honest Democrat AZ against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest
Republican as against the dishonest Dem
ocrat. 1t does not take its cue from the
utterances Of any politician or political or
ganization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
eddy when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic was
founded for the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated AS in the outrageous conspir-
acy of 1876, by which a man not elected
was placed in tho Presidents office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is I'll q SUN 3 idea Of indie
pendcnce. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
THE sun has fairly earned the nearly
hatred OF rascals, frauds and humbugs of
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not less in the year 1879 than
in 1878, 1871 or any year gone by. THE
Sun will continue TO shine on the wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons of the past should be
constantly kept before the people, THE
SUN does not propose to make itsolf in
1879 magazine of ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and yemen of 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
est, fullest and most accurate intelligence
of whatever in the wide world is worth at
tention. To this end the resources belong
lug to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition of psr-
ties in this country and the uncertainty of
the future lend al extraordinary signiti-
canoe to the events OF the coming year.
The discussions OF the press, the debates
and acts Of Congress, and tho movements
Of the leaders i'll every section of the Re-
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of 16oO-an event
which must DO regarded with tho most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
hot n1. al
glance. To these elements Of interest may
be added the probability that the Demo-
Gratis vii control both houses OF Congress,
tho increasing feebleness of the fraudulent
Administration. and the spread and
streng thening everywhere of healthy alb
holrence of fraud III any form. To pre-
sent 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 I'M
portant part of THE SUMS work for 1873.
