LITERARY.
the SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during thu year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as In the past
To present all the news in readable
shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall
THE SUN has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be independent Of everybody and
everything we the Truth and its own
oonvi lions OF duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
hdence and friendship of d wider constitu-
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
American journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not for the rich man ag qinst
the poor man, or for the poor man against
the rich man, but 1t seeks to do equal JUS
tice to all classes in the community 1t 10
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 il
for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for tho honest
Republican as against the dishonest DEM
ocrat. 1t does not take Its cue fro Ii the
utterances of any politician Or political or
ganlzation. 1t gives its supl ort unreserv-
edly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Coretltution and with the
principles upon Hhicn this Republic was
founded Tor the people. Whenever the
Constitution ana constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
acy OF 1876, by which q man not elected
was placed in the Presidents Office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is THE SUNS idea of inde-
pendence. In this respect there will bo no
change in its programme for 1879.
The SUN has fairly earned the hearty
hatred of rascals, frauds and humbugs OF
all sort. and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not 1883 in the year 1879 than
in 1878. 1877, or any year gone by. THE
sun will continue to shine on the wicked
with unmitigatcd brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, 1HE
SUN does not propose to make itself in
1879 magazlne Of ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and gemen 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 accurae intelligence
of whatever in the wide world is worth at
tention. To this end the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjuinted condition OF par
ties in this country and the uncertainty of
the future lend an extraordinary 5ignif.
The discussions OF the press, the debates
and acts Of Congress. and the movements |
OF the leaders i'll every section of the Re |
public, will have direct bearing on the |
Presidential election of 1SS0--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 tnat the Demo- |
Gratis VI control both houses of Congress, |
the increasing feebleness Oh the fraudulent |
and the spread and |
strengthening everywhere Of healthy all, |
horrence OF fraud III any form. 10 pre-
ent with accuracy and clearness the exact |
in each OF Its vary ing phases, and |
to expound, according 10 Its well-known |
methods, the principles that should guide |
us Though the labyrinth, Will ue an I'M |
