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 III tine past:
| TO present all the NJ 8 in readable
shape, and to tell th' ruth though the
heavens fall,
THE SUN has been ls, AMI will con-
tinue to be independ.rt of ev rybody and
every thin3 we the Truth anu its own
convi jlions Of duty. That is the p5iioy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
fidence and friendship of wider coustitu-
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
American journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not Tor the rich man against
the poor man, or for the poor man against
the rich man, but it seeks to do equal JUS
tice to all classes in the community Ii 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 fron the
utterances uf any politician or political or
ganlzation. 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 Tor the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated as in the outrageous conspir-
acy of 1876, by which a man not elected
was D! aced In the Presidents office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is I'll q SUNS idea OF inde-
pendence. Iu 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
ali sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not less in the year 1873 than
in 1873. 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 q magazine of ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and yemen 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
tenton. 10 this end the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjointea condition of par
ties in this country and the uncertainty OF
the future lend an extraordinary siBnii-
cauce to the events of the coming year.
The discussions OF the press, the debates
and acts Of Congress, and the movements
OF the leaders iu every section OF the Re-
public, will have a direct bearing on the
Presidential election of 1S30-An event
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
ican, whatever his political ideas or alle-
glance. To these elements Of interest may
be added the probability that the Demo-
Gratis w Il control both houses OF Congress,
the increasing fcebleness OF the fraudulent
Administration, and tne sDreau ana
strengthening everywhere OF healthy ab>
horrence OF fraud III any form. 10 pre-
cent with accuracy and clearness the exact
situation in each of its vary ing phases, and
to expound, according TO its weil-known
methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, Will ue an I'M
portant part OF THE SUMS work for 1879.
