St. Landry democrat., 1879-12-20
Cheap,
THE Ss4ss for 1880.

The sun vii! he printed every day d'lflhS tic
year to come. Its purpose and lhtth"u WIZ nt
the same rs in the past: TO present AL tl|
news i'll readable shape, and to tell the tfGtl
thou ght the heavens fall.
The sun has been, is, and will continue to be
independent Of everybody allh ever! r!ihlnS save
the truth and its own convictions OF DUTY
That Is the only policy winch an hohCst new
paper need have. That is the r"ilcy! winch has
won for this newspaper Tie cohlldcllco anu
friendship of d wider constituency Than was
ever enjOy ed by any American journal.
The Sun is the newspaper Tor thc people II
is not for the rich mau against the poor man. or
for The Door man against the rich man. bNt 1t
seeks to do equal Justice to all interests III COM
m,lnity. It is not the organ OF any person, casc,
sect or party. There need be lie inyscry about
ifs loves and hates. 1t is for the honest man
against the rogues every time. Its for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. It does not take its cue
from the utterarccs of any politician or polit-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unrescrN
| edly when men or measures are III agreement
| with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people Whenever the Constitution and coli-
stitution principles are Violated-as Ill the out
raseous conspiIacy OF 1874 ny nl %S man fn not
| where he still rcmains-lt speaks out for the
right That is The Suns idea OF independence.
| III this respect there Will De 40 cAanSc III Its
! programme for 1879.
| The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals frauds, and htlnbugs, OF all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
| in the year 1879, than III 1873, 1877, or any year
| gone bv The Sun:wilI continue to shin on the
wicked with unlnitgated brightness.
| While the lessons of the past should be con
| sta1ltlv kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself III 1879 a magazine
| of ancient history. 1t is printed for the men
| women of to-day. whose concern IS chiefly with
the affairs of today 1t has both the dlsposl-
promptest, fullest, and most accurate inteli-
| gence Of whateverin the wide world is worth at
tention. To tEfS end the Resource belonging to
well-established prosperity will be literally en-
| ploycd.
The present disjointcd condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty OF the furturc
| lend an extraordinary significance to the events
| of the comngyear To discussion OF the press,
| the debates and acts Of Congress, and the move
mcntS Of the leaders i'll every section or the he
| public will have direct bearing on the Presi
| Dental election Of 1SSO-an event which must
| be regarded with the most anxious interest b!
| every patriotic American, whatever his polltlca
ideas or allegiance; The these elements OF IN IN
Democrats will control both houses of Congress
the increasing TeehleneSs of the fraudulent Ad
minstration, and the spread and strengthening
| everywhere OF a healthy adherence OF fraut
in any form. To present with accuracy ant
clearness the exact situation an each OF it
| varying phases, and to eNpOund, according tt
its wcll-knoWn methods, the principles thai
should guide us through the labyrinth, will bt
an important part of The Sums work for 1879.
| We have the means OF making The sun, RS
political, a literary and d general newspaper
more entertaining and more useful than eve
before; and we mean TO apply them freely.
