LITERARY.
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:
10 present all the news in readable
shape, and to toll tho truth though the
heavens fall.
THE SUN has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be independent of everybody and
every thing save the Truth and its own
convictions of duty. That is the policy
which mas won for this newspaper the con-
fidence and friendship of a wider constitu-
ency than was evor enjoyed by any other
American journal.
THE sun is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not Tor 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 tho organ OF any person, class, sect or
party. There need be no mystery about
it's loves and hates. II 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 fro II the
utterances Of any politician Or political or
ganization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
edly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic was
founded for the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
acy Of 1876, by which a man not elected
was placed IN the Presidents Office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is THE SUMS idea Of indie
pendence. In this respect there will be 10
change in Its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the nearly
hatred of rascais, frauds and humbugs OF
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not less in the year 1879 than
IN 1873, 1877, or any year gone by. THE
SUN will continue to shine on the wicked
with unmitisated brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, THE
SUN docs not propose to make itself in
1879 magazine of ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and yemen OF to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with tho affairs OF
to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the prompt
est, fullest aud most accurate intelligence
OF whatever in the wide world Is worth at
tention. 10 this end the RESOURCES belong
ing to well-established prosperity will DO
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition Of par
ties in this country and the uncertainty OF
canoe to the events of the coming year. |
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 loS0--an event |
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, whatever his political ideas or allie
glance. TO these clements of i'll terest may
be added the probability that the Demo-
Gratis Will control both houses of Congress,
the increasing fcebleness OF the fraudulent
Administrator. and the spread and
strengthening everywhere OF healthy ali,
horrence OF fraud III any form. 10 pre-
sent with accuracy and clearness the exact
situation in each OF its varying phases, and
to expound, according to It's weil-known
methods, the principles that should guide
Us through the labyrinth, will TO an I'M
portant part of THE SUNS work for 1879.
