THE SUN FOR 1879.

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 ell 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
orerythinS pavo tho Truth and it's own
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
idence and friendship of wider cons titu-
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
| American journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the pee
pie. 1t is not for the rich man as sinst
| the poor man, or for the poor man against
the rich man, but it sc eks 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 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
Constitut hon 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-
penaence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty
hatred of rascals, frauds and humbugs of
al aarfs on1 pitr tnfNac 10
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 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. To this end the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition of par
| tics in this country and the uncertainty of
| the future lend an extraordinary signifi-
cameo to the events OF the coming year.
| The discussions OF the press, the debates
and acts of Congress, and the movements
of thu leaders i'll every section of the Re-
| public, will have a direct bearing on the
| Presidential election of 18S0-an event
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
| lean, whatever his political ideas or slle-
| 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 healthy alb
| 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 tho labyrinth will be an i'm
portant part of THE SUMS work for 1879.
