E'Esc Sssss for 1879.

The sun will he printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method will be
tie SAME as III TIE past: To present all the
news i'll readable shape. and to tell tie truth
thought the heavens fail.
The Sun has BEEN ia, and will continue to he
independent o! everybody and everything save
That Is the only policy which IN honest new
paper need have. That is the policy which has
won for thi- newspaper the confidence ard
friendship Of q wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed by any American Journal.
The sun is the newspaper FOR the people. It
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
lnUNity. II is not the organ OF ANY person CaSt.,
sect party. There need he no myscry about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the roEues every time. 1t is the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican rs against the
dishonest Democrat 1t does not take its cue
from the utteranccs Of any politician polit i
cal organization. Ii gives its support unrcscrv-
eddy when men or measures are in agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con

elected was placed in the Presidents office.
where he still renlains-it speaks ont for the
| right. That is The Suns idea of independence.
In this respect there will be no change i'll its
programme for 1879.
The Sun llas fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals, frauds and Aumbugs, of all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1879 than in 1878, 1877, or any year
gone by. The Sull1will continue to shin on the
wicked with unmi1igated brightness.
While the lessons OF the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people, The sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 Il magazine
| of ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
women OF to-day. whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. It has both the 1isposi-
ton and the ability to affords its readers tie
promptest, fullest, ana most accurate inteli-
gcnce Of whatever in the wide world is worth at
tention. To this end the Resource belonging to
wcestablished prosperity will be literally en-
plOyed.
The present dsjointed condition of parties iii
this country, and the uncertainty OF the filrtlire
lend an extraordinary Significance to the events
of thu coming year. To discussion of the press,
the debates and acts Of Congress- and the move
ments Of the leaders in every section OF the Re
public will have direct bearing On the Presi-
Dental election OF l88Gan 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 81 Congress,
the increasing feenleness OF the fraudulent Ad-
minstration, and the spread and strengthening
everywhere of healthy adherence of fraud
in any form. To present with accuracy and
clcarness the exact situation an each Of its
its wel-known methods, the principles that
should guide Us through the labyrinth, will be
an important part of The suns work for 1879.
