LITERARY.
TINE SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during the year to come. Its purpose ant
method will be tho same as In the past
To present all the news in readable
shape, and to tell tho truth though thu
heavens fall.
THE SUN has been, is, and will con
tinue to be Independent of everybody anC
everything save the Truth and its owr
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 other
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. 1t is
for the honest Democrat as 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 lts 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 the Presidents Office, where
he still remains--it speaks out for the
| right. That is THE SUNS idea of indie
| pendence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned tie hearty
hatred of rascals, frauds and humbugs of
all 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 tho wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF IIo past should be
constantly kept before the people, THE
SUN does not propose to make itself in
| 1879 a magazine OF ancient history. 1t ID
| 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 readers the prompt
est, fullest and most accurate intelligence
of whatever in the wide world is worth at
tention. 10 this end the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition of par
ties in this country and the uncertainty Of
the future lend an extraordinary signif-
canoe to the events OF the coming year.
The discussions of the press, the debates
and acts of Congress, aud the movements
OF the leaders i'll every section OF the Re-
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of 1SoO-an event
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, whatever his political ideas or alle-
glance. TO these clements Of interest may
be added tho probability that the Demo-
Gratis VIII control both houses OF Congress,
the increasing fcebleness OF the fraudulent
Administration. and tho spread and
strengthening everywhere OF healthy alb
horrence 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 weil-known
methods, the principles that should guido
us through tho labyrinth, viii he an I'M
portant part OF TIL SUMS work for 1879.
