TYsc SasBa for 1879.


The sun will be printed every day during the
year to cone. Its purpose and lncth hoN will he
the same ~ in the past: To present all the
news in a readable shape, and to tell the truth
thought the heavens fall
Tho Sun has been is, and will continue to be
independent Of everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions Of duty
That Is the only policy which an honest new
uaper need have. That is the policy which has
won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship Of q wider constituency than was
ever enjoy ed by any American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. 1T
is not for the rich against the poor man. Or
for the Door man against the rich man, but it
seeks to do equal justice to all interests i'll com
inunty. II is not the organ OF any person clnSe,
sect or party. There need he no myserE about
its loves and hates. It is for the honest man
against the roges every time. It's for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republican.
and for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take its cue
from the utterances OF any politician or polltl-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unreScrv-
cdly when men or measures are IN agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever the Constitution and con-
stitution principles are Vlolate4A6as III the out
ragcOus conspiracy OF 1878, by "hlcn man nol
elected was placed in the Presidents office
where he still re1nains-it speaks ont for the
right. That is The Suns idea OF independence
In this respect there will be no change in its
programme for 1879.
The sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred
of rascals frauds, and humbugs, of all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deSegEe that hatre2t not less
u the year 1879. than in 1875, 1877. rany year
pona by. The Sun'will continue to shin Oh the
1Eicke,s with unmitigated brightness.
While thn lessons Of the past should be con
stantlv kept before the people. The sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 magazine
of ancient history Ii is printed for The men
women of to-day whose cGncern is chiefty wlti
the affairs of today. 1t has h6tA the dlspnsl
lion and the ability to affords its readers lne ne
