THE SUN FOR 1879.

The Sun II be printed every day during the
year TO come. Its purpose and method will be
the same as il the pa t. To present a the
news in reaaa ie shape. and to tell the truth
though the heavens fall.
The sun has en-. is. and will continue TO be
Independent of eeeryoOdy and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions of duty
That is the Only policy which an honest news
paper need have. That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of a wild constituency tn n was ev-
er enjoyed by any other American Journal.
The I'M l. h newspaper for the people. 1t
is for tn ricfI man against the poor man. or
for the poor an against the rich an, bu II
seeks TO do equal justice Ia all the interests IN
the community. 1t is not the organ of AZ per-
son, class, 'ect or party. There need be no
mystery aboutits loves and hates. 1t for the
honest man against the rOgues every time. 1t
is Tor the honest Democrat as against the dis
honest Republican, and for the honest Repub-
lican rs against the dishonest Democrat. 1t
does not take its cue from the utIerances of any
Politician or political organization. 1t gives
l. support unres Ivedly when men or meas
ures are in agreement it'll the constitution and
with the principles upon which this Republic
was founded for the reOple, Whenever the
constitution and COS stitutiUDh principles are
viulaie as IL the Outr. geOus conspiracy of
1876, by which a man not elected was aced in
the Presidents ohce. where be still remains
II spelk ks out for the right. That is the sun Z
iuea of independence. In this respect there
will be no cha age in its program me for 1879.
The sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred Of
fttSCals. iTauus anu numDugS OF AL Sorts ana
sizes. 1t hopes to Ieserve that hatred not less
in the year 1879, than in 1873, 1877, or any year
gone by. he sun i'll con inue 20 shine on the
wicked W it'll uumitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be- con-
stantiy kept before the people, TIE Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 magazine
of anclent history, 1t is p int.d for the men
and women Of 'O-day. 1t has both the dispo
sition aud the ability to afford its readers the
prOmptest, fullest. and most accurate intelli-
gcnce of whatever in the de wo Id is worth
attention. To this end the resource, belonging
to well establl shed prosperity ii be literally
employed.
The present disjointed condition Of rarties in
this country, and the uncertainty of the future
lend an eXtraOr iinary signihcapce tC the events
of the coming year. The discussions of the
press the debates and acts of Congress, and
the mo emen's of the aders IN every section
of the Republic will have direct bearing on
the Presidential election of asian event
which must be ega ded with the most anxious
interest by every pat lotto American, whichever
his political ideas of allegiance. 10 these ele-
mentS o! interest NAV be added the pro Dab lily
that the Democrats will control both houses of
Congress, the increasing feebleneSs of The fraud
ulent Ac mlnlstraton, and the spread and
strengthening eve ywhere of healthy abher-
ence of fIaud in any form. To present with
accuracy and clearness the exact situation in
each of its varying phases, and to eXpound ac-
pies that should guide us through the labrinth,
will be an important part of the SUN work for
1879
