St. Landry democrat., 1879-12-13

The SAGE fGss' sS70.

The s,ln will DO printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method will be
the Same as in the past: 10 present ail the
news in q readable shape, and to toll the truth
thought the heavens fall.
The sun has been, Is. and will continue 10 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 q wider constituency than WAS
ever enjoyed by any American journal.
The Sun is tho newspaper for the people. It
is not for the rich man against tho poor man. or
for the poor man against tho rich man, but 1t
seeks to do equal justice TO all Interests in com
muuity. It is not the organ OF ATTY person, claSe.
sect or party. There need be no tuysery about
its loves and hates. II is for the honest man
against the roGucs every time. ltis forthe honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican as agains, the
dishonest Democrat. It does not take It's cue
from the utterances OF any politician or politi-
cal organization. 1T gives its support unreserv-
edly When men or measures are in agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded for tho
people Whenever the Constitution and cop,-
stitutiOn principles are vlolated-as i'll tho Cut
rageous conspiracy of 1878, by which map uot
elected was placed in the Presidents office,
where be still renains.-it speaks out for the
right. That is The Suns idea of independence.
In this respect there will be no change in its
programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
Of raEcals, frauds and hnmbuGs, OF all sorts and
s3e. II hopes to deserve that hatred not lcss
in the year 1870, than in 1873, 1877, or any wear
gone by The Sun will continue to shin on the
wicked with unmtigated brightness
stautlv 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. It has both the GisuDsi-
ton and the ability TO affords ite readers the
promptest. fullest and most accurate ipteIt-
gence of " whateveri In the wide world ]. worth at-
