St. Landry democrat., 1879-12-27
Cheap,
ERae SasAe for 1879.

| The Sun will he printed every day during the
year to come. It's purpose and nethod will be
the same us i'll the past: TO present all the
news i'll Il readable shape, ana 10 tell lnt truth
thought the heavens fall.
The Sun has been, is, and will continue to be
independent of everybody and everything save
| the Truth and its own convictions OF duty
paper need have. That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of IL 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 rich man, but it
seeks to do equal justice to all Interests in com
munity. 1t is not the organ OF ANY PERSON. cSe,
sect or party. There need be no mysery about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest mai
against the rogues every time. tits fOrthe honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
| and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat 1t does not take Its cue
from the utteranccs of any politician or politi
cal organization. 1t gives its support unreserv
edly when men or measures are i'll agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
iipon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con
stitution principles are yiolated-;is i'll the out
rageous conspiracy of 1878, by which man not
elected was placed in the Presidents office,
where he still remstins-t speaks out for the
right. That is The SUMS idea of independence.
In this respect there will be no change i'll its
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascas, Frauds and humbugs, of all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1872 than in 1878, 1877, or any year
gone by. The Sunlwill continue to shin Oh the
wicked with unnitisated brightness
While the lessons of the past should he con
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself i'll 1879 a magazine
of ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. 1t has both the disposi-
ton and the ability to affords its readers the
rromptest, fullest, and most accurate iptci-
.ence OF, ,whateverin the wide world is worth at
fention. TO this end the resCource belonGing to
we-established prosperity will be hberal!y en-
ployed.
The present disjontcd condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty of the furtnrc,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
of the coming year. To discussion of the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
mcnts of the leaders i'll every section OF the Re
public will have a direct bearing on the PreSl-
dental election Of 1SS0-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
tcrest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses of Congress,
the increasing feebleness of the fraudulent Ad-
| minstration, and the spread aid STRENGTHENING
everywhere of a healthy adherence of fraud
in any form. To present with accuracy and
clearncss the exact situation an 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 Sums work for 1879.
