| The sun will be printed every day during
the year 10 come Its purpose aud method VIII
be the same AS in the past To present all the
news IN a readible shape, and to tell the truth
though the heavens fall.
| The SUN has been, is and will continue 10 he
independent of everybody and everything save
the Truth and ts own convictions OF duty.
| That is the only policy which an honest news
paper need have. That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship OF wider constituency than was eV-
er enjoyed by any other American Journal.
THE Sun is the newspaper for the people.
1t is not for the rich man against the poor man.
or for the poor man against the rich man, but it
seeks to do equal Justice to all interests in the
community 1t is not the organ of any person,
class. sect on party. There need be no mystery
about its loves and hates. 1t s for the honest
man against the rOgues every time. u ia for
the honest Democrat as against the dishonest
Republican, aud for the honest Republican ~
against the dishonest Democrat 1t does not
take It's cue from the ulterance Of any political
organization. 1t gives its support unreseryed-
ly when men or measures are III agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded by tue
people Whenever the Constitution and con
slitutiona principals are violated-as IN the
outrageous conspiracy OF 1876, by which man
not elected was placed in the Presidents Office
where he .till remains-it speaks out for the
right That is THE SUNS idea Of indspend
| ence. In this respect there will be no chang'
[ in its programme for 1879.
| The Sun has fairly earned the hatred of ras
| Gals, frauds, and humbugs Of all sorts and sizes
| II hops o deserve that hatred not less IN ih'
year 1879 than in 1873, 1877. or any year gone
| by. THE sun will continue to shine on th'
wicked with unmiigated brightness
While the lessons of the past should Ne con
stantly kept before the people, THE SUN doe'
not propose 10 make itself in 1879 a magazine
of ancient history. 1t is printed tor the mel
aud women Of to day. whose concern IS chiefly
with the affairs of to day. 1t has both the dis
position and the ability to afford its readers tn
promptpst, fullest and most accurate intelligence
of whatevea in the wide world is worth atten

The present di-onted condition of parties il
this country, aud the uncertainty OF the future

the Presidential election of loS0-an even

interest by every patriotic American, whateve
