THE SUN FOR 1873.


THE SUN will be printed every day
during the 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 save the Truth and its own
convictions OF duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
tidence and friendship of wider constitu-
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
American journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the poo.
pie. 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 JUS
tice to all classes 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 roSues every time. 1t is
for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest
Republican as against the dishonest Dem
ocrat. 1t does not take its cue from the
utteranees of any politician Or political Or
ganization. 1t gives It's support unresery-
edly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
founded for the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
acy OF 1876, by which man not elected
was placed in the Presidents Office, where
ho still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is THE SUMS idea of inde-
pendence. In this respect there will be no
change i'll its programme for 1879.
THE sun has fairly earned the hearty
hatred of rascals, frauds and humbugs OF
all sorts and sizes. Ii hopes to deserve
| in 1873, 1877, or any year gone by. THE
SUN will continue to shine on the wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons of the past should be
constantly kept Before the people, THE
sun does not propose to make itself in
| 1879 magazine OF ancient history. 1t ii
printed for the men and wemen 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 accurate intelligence
| of whatever in the wide world is worth at.
| tention. 10 this end the resources belong.

literally employed.
The present disjointed condition Of par

| 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 a direct bearing on the
| Presidential election of 1880-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 that the Demo

| the increasing feebleness of the fraudulent
| Administration. and the spread and
strengthening everywhere OF healthy alb

sent with accuracy and clearness the exact
situation in each of its varying phases, and
to expound, according to its well-known
methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, will be an I'M
