THE SUN FOR 1879.

The SUN will be printed every day ,lu-
ring the year to come. Its purpose aud
method will be the same as III the past
TO present all the naws in "a reliable shane.
and to tell the truth though the heavens
fall.
The Sun has been. is, and will continue
to be Independent of every body aud every
thing save the Truth and its own conyic
tions OF duty. That is the only policy
which has won for this newspaper the con
tidenee and friendship of a wider constitu-
ency ii an was ever enjoyed by any other
American journal
The Sun is the newspaper for the people.
at Is not for the rich man against tho poor
man, or for the poor man against the rich
man, but 1T seeks to do equal justice to all
interests in the community. Ii Is not the
organ OF any person. class, sect or party.
There need be no mystery about its loves
aud hates. 1t is for the honest Democrat
as against the dishonest Republican, and
for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take it's
cue from the utterauces OF apy politician
or political organization. 1t gives it's sup.
port unreserye,ily when men or measures
are III agreement with the Constitution and
with the principles upon which this Repub.
lie was founded for the people. Whenever
the Constitution and constitutional princ
pies are violated-as i'll the outrageous con
spiracT of 1876, by which IL inan not elected
was placed in the Presidents otiice. where
he It'll remains speaks for the right.
That is TIE Sens idea of independence.
In this respect there will be no change in
Its programme for i379. 80
The Sun has fairly earned The hearty ha-
tired of rascals. frauds. and humhuss of nil
sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that
hatred not less in the year 1873, than in
1870. ls!f, or any year gone by. The Sun
Will continue to shine on the wicked with
unTnitigated brightness,
While the lessons of the past should be
constantly kept before the people, THE
Sun does not propose TO make itself in 1879
magazine of ancient history. 1t is printed
for the men iuid women OF to-day whose
concern is chiefly with tho affairs 0i to day
Ii has both the disposition and the ability
70 afford it readers the promptest, fullest
and most accurate intelligence of whatever
in the wide world is worth attention. To
this end The resources belonging to well-es-
tabllshed prosperity will be Iiberallv EN-
ploved.
The present diSlonted condition CT par
ties in this country and the uncertainty of
the future, lend an extraordinary siguii
cancH to the evonts of the coming year
The discussions of the press .he debates
and acs of Congress- and the movements
OF the leaders iii every section of tie Re-
public will have a direct bearing on the
Presidential election of ISSl-an event
which must be regarded with the most anx-
lous Interest by every patriotic American,
whatever his political ideas or allegiance
TO these elements may b. added the prob
ability that the Democrats will contro,
both houses Of Congress, the Increasing
feeblsness OF the fraudulent Administration
and the spread and strengthening every
