The Sun for 1879

The Sun will be printed every day during
the wear 10 come Its purpose and method will
he the same as in the past TO present all the
news in readible shape, and to tell the truth
though the heavens fall.
THE SIIN has been, is aud will continue TO be
independent Of everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions OF duty.
That il the only policy which an honest news
naner need have That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship Of a wider constituency than was ev-
er enjoyed by any other American journal.
THE sun is the newspaper for the people.
/, is not for The rich man against the poer man
or for the poor man against the rich man, but it
saaLs N do equal Justice TO all interests in the
community. 1t 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 II IL for
the honest Democrat as against the dishonest
Republican, and for the honest Republican as

ri0bt That is THE SUNS idea of indrpend
| ence In this respect there will be- no change
| in It's programme for 1879
TuE Sun has fairly earned the hatred of ras-
Gals frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and sizes
| II homes TO deserve that hatred not less In The
| wear 1879, than in 1873, 1877. or any year gone
| by. The SUN will continue to shine on The
wicked with unmligaled brigh Illness
While the lessons Of the past should be con
stanlly kept before the people, TIE sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a magazine
of ancient history. II is printed for the men
and women Of to day. whose concern Is chiefly
with the affairs of to day. Ii has both the dis
nosiiou and the ability to afford its readers the
nr.mntest. fullest and most accurate Intelligence
of wbateyea in The wide world is worth atten
ton To this eud the resources belonging 10
well established prosperity will be literally
employed.
The nresept disiointed condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty OF the future
lend an extraordinary sinnihcance to til" events
of the coming year The discussions OF me
press the debates and acts of Congress, and
The movements Of the leaders in every section
Of the RebubIic will have direct bearing on
The Prasid entail election of lSS0-an event
which must be regarded with the most anxious
interest by every patriotic American, whatever
his political ideas or allegiance. To these ele-
ments of interest may be added the probability
that the Democrats will control both houses Of
Congress, the increasing frebeness ofthr fraud
nlent Administration. and the spread and
strengthening everywhere OF a healthy aohor'
ence of fraud in any form. To present with
accuracy and clearnesr the exact situation IN
each of It's varying phases. and to expound, ac-
cordng to its well, known methods, the prinei-
Piles that should guide us through the labyrinth,
will be an important part of THE SUNS work
