THE SUN FOR 1879.

TIE Sun will be printed every day during the
year to come. Its purposes and method will be the
same as In the past: To present all me news IN n
heavens fall.
THE sun has been, and will continue to be inde-
pendent of everybody and everything save the
Truth and its own convictions Of duty That is the
only policy which IN honest newspaper need have.
That Is the policy which has won for this ncwspa-
per the confidence and friendship of wider con-
stitucncy than was ever enjoyed by any other
American Journal.

THE Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred of
rascals, frauds and humbugs Of all sorts and Sizes

The present disjointed condition Of parties In
this country, and the uncertainty OF the future,
lend IN extraordinary significance to the events oil
the coming year. The discussions of the press, the
debates and acts of Congress, and the movements
of the leaders in every section OF the Repubc WIN
have direct bearing on the prcsidential ciectoh
of lSSD-an event which must be regarded with the
most anxious interest by every patriotic American
whatever his political ideas or allegiance. To these
elem, iits Of interest may be added the proDaDllty
that the Democrats will control both houses OF Con-
gress the increasing feebleness Of the fraudulent
Administration and the spread and strengthening

any form. To present with accuracy anu clcarhess
the exact situation in each Of its varying phases
and to expound, according 10 Its wcll-known
methods the principles that should guide us through
the labyrinth will be an important part of TIE
SUS's work for 1879.
