LITERARY.
the SUN FOR 1878.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as in the past:
To present all the news in readable
shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
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-
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 tho 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 its support unresery-
| edly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic was
| founded ior 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 TII IL SUNS idea of inde-
pendence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
| THE sun has fairly earned tile 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 1878, 1877, 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 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
to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the prompt.
