TIE Sgs9s 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 all the
news i'll a readable shape, and to tell the truth
thought the heavens fail.
The Sun has been. is, aud will continue to be
| independent OF everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions OF duty.
That Is the only policy which an honest new
paper need have. That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship Of Il wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed by any American Journal.
The sun is the newspaper for the people. 1t
is not for the rich man against the poor man. or
for the poor man against the rich man, bNt it
seeks to do equal justice to all interests in COM
lnunity. 1t is not the organ of any person. ciaSe,
sect or party. There need be no mysery about
its loves aud hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rO9ues every time. It for the honest
Democrat rs against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take its cue
from the utteranccS of any politician or polltl-
cal organization. 1t gives its support ilnresefv-
edly when men or measures are i'll agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded IOr the
people Whenever the Constitution and con-
stituticn principles are vi0lated-as i'll the ont
rageolls conspiracy of 1873 by which man not
elected placed in tue Presidents office,
where he still rcmains-it speaks out for the
right. That is The Suns idea OF independence,
III this respect there will be no change in its
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned tho hearty hatred
of rascas, frauds, and humbugs, of all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1879, than in 1878, 1877, any year
gone by. The Sunwill continue to shin on the
wicked with unmtigated 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 a magazine
of ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. 1t has both the DISPOSE
promptest, fullest, and most accurate inteli-
gence of whateverin the wide world is worth at
tentlOn. To this end the rcscOuroe belonging to
well-established prosperity will be literally em-
ployed
The present disjointed condition of parties in
this country and the uncertainty of the furture,
OF the comingyear. 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-
dentlal election OF 1S80-an event which must
be regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patrOtlc 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 of Congress,
the increasing feebleness of the fraudulent Ad-
milstration, and the spread and strengthening
everywhere OF healthy adherence OF fraud
iI0 any form. To present with accuracy and
clearness the exact situation an each of it's
varying phases. and to expound, according to
its well-known methods, the principles that
should guide lis through the labyrinth will be
an important part of The Suns work for 1879.
