The SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every o.;
method will be the same as in the past
To present all the news in a readable
shape, and to tell the truth though th'
heavens fall.
THE SUN has been, is, and will con
tinue to be independent of everybody an6
everything save the Truth and its OWL
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con.
fidence and friendship Of wider constitu.
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
American journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo-
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 rogues 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
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
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
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is THE SUMS idea of indie.
pendence. In this respect there will be nc
change in its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty
hatred of rascals, frauds and humbugs OF
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not less in the year 1879 than
in 1878, 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 il
printed for the men and yemen of to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs OF
TODAY. 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. To this end the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition Of par,
ties in this country and the uncertainty oi
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 iu every section Of the Re-
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election Of 1880-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 elements Of interest may
be added the probability that the Demo
Gratis will control both houses OF Congress
| the increasing feebleness Of the fraudulent
| Administration, and the spread and
strengthening everywhere Of a healthy alb
horrence of fraud in any form. To pre-
sent with accuracy and clearness the exac

| to expound, according to its well-knowr
| methods, the principles that should guide
