LITERARY.
TINE SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every 49,
during the year to come. Its purpose anc
method will be tho same AZ in the past:
To present all the news in q readable
shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall. f
IHE.SUN has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be independent OF everybody and
everything rave the Truth aud its own
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
fidence and friendship of wider constitu-
eney than was ever enjoyed by any other
American Journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t ID 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, scot or
party. There need be no mystery about
Its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest
man against the rogues every time. It is
for the honest Democrat AZ 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 VI political or
ganization. 1t gives its suprort 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
Oonstltution and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
acy of 1875, by which man not elected
was placed in the Presidents Office. where
lie still remains--it speaks out for the
right. That Is THE SUMS idea Of inde-
pendence. 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 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, 1HE
SUN does not propose to make itself in
1879 a magazine OF ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and w0men 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
ing to well-established prosperity will he
literally employed. -.
ties in this country and the uncertainty OF
the future lend an extraordinary signifl-
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 he regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, whatever his political ideas or tlle-
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 healthy al,
horrence of fraud in any form. 10 pre-
sent with accuracy and clearness the exact
situation in each of its varying phases, and
to expound, according 10 its weii-known
methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, will be an I'M
portant part of THE SUMS work for 1879.
