LITERARY.
the SUN FOR 1879.


THE SUN will. be printed every or,
during the year to come. Its purpose ana
method Awillt be the same as in the mast.
10 present all the news. ins a readable
shape, and to tell the truth though tho
heavens fall. 80 - I
THE sun has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be independent of everybody and
everything save the Truth and its own
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
tidence 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. Ii 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
ganzation. 1t gives its support unreserv-
| edly 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 man not elected
was placed in the Presidents Office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is THE SUMS idea of inde-
pendence. In this respect there will bo no
change in its programme for 1873.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty
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, 1877, or any year gone by. THE
S 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 itself in
1879 magazine Of ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and wemen Of to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs OF
TODAY. 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
tenton. 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-
cance to the events of the coming year.
The discussions Of the press, the debates
and acts of Congress, and the movements
OF the leaders i'll every section OF tho Re-
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of 1880-an event
which must be. regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
ican, whatever his political ideas or alle-
glance. To these elements of interest may
be added the probability that the Demo-
Gratis VIII control both houses of Congress,
the increasing feebleness OF the fraudulent
Administration, and the spread and
strengthening everywhere OF a healthy ab-
horrence OF fraud in 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 1879.
