The Sseae for 1870.

The Snn will be printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method Will he

thought the heavens fail
The Sun has been. is, and will continue to ne
independent OF everybody and everything save
the truth and its own convictions Of duty.
That Is the only policy which an honest new
paper need have. That IL the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of IL wider constituency than was
ever enjoyed by any American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. 1t
ia 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 i'll com
muuity. 1t is not the organ OF any person. cliSe,
sect or party. There need be II" lnysery about
its loves and hates. 1t il for the honest man
against the roguCs every time. Its for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican,
and for the honest Republican, as against the
dishonest Democrat. It does not take its cue
from the utteranceS OF any politician or pOlltl-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
eddy when men or measures are i'll agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Repnhlic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and CON
stitlltOn principles arc ylOlated-as in the out
rageOus conspiracy of 1878. by which man not
elected was placed i'll the Presidents office,
right. That is The Suns idea of independence.
In this respect there will he no change in its
programme for 1879.
TIE sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
size. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less
in the year 1872 than in 1878, 1877. or any year
gone by. The Sun!Will continue to shin on the
wicked with ,Inmitigated brightness.
While the lessons Of the past should he con
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself i'll 1877? magazine
of ancient history. 1t IS printed for the men
women Of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
