LITERARY.
tine SUN FOR 1873.

|
THE SUN will be printed every day
| during the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as III the past
To present all the news in readable
shape, and to tell tho truth though the
| heavens fall,
THE SUN has been, is, anu 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 has won for this newspaper the con-
fdence and friendship of u wider constitu-
ency than was ever 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 tho community 1t IS
Eot 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 fro III the
utterances Of any politician or political or
ganigatlon. 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 ior the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are vlolated-as in the outrageous conspir-
aoy Of 1876, by which man not elected
was placed Ill the Presidents Office, where
he still remains--it speaks out for the
right. That is The SUMS idea of inde-
penuence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
THE sun has fairy earned tile 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 wall continue to shine on tho wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, 1 HE
SUN does not propose to make itself in
1879 u magazine Of ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and yemen 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. 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 of
the future lend an extraordinary signif-
cance 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 1SSO-an event
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean whatever hie political ideas or oile- |
glance. To these clements Of interest may
be added the probability that tine Demo-
Gratis will control both houses of Congress,
the increasing feebleness OF the fraudulent
Administration. and the spread and
strengthe ming everywhere OF healthy ab>
horrence OF fraud In any form. 10 pre-
sent with accuracy and clearness the exact
situation in each OF It's varying phases, and
to expound, according to its weil-known
methods, the PRINCIPLES that should guide
us Though tho labyrinth, Will he an I'M
