the SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same "a In the past
10 present all the news in readable
shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall
The SUN has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be Independent Of everybody and
every thing s we the Truth and its own
convi ,tions of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
fidence and friendship Of wider con- titu-
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
American journal.
pie. 1t is not Tor the rich man ag sinst
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 NJ against the
dishonest Republican, aud for the honest
Republican az against the dishonest DEM
ocrat. 1t does not take its cue fro u the
utterances VI any politician ur political Or
ganlzati0n. 1t gives its SUPP ort unreserv-
eddy when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic was
founded Tor the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated AS in the outrageous conspir-
acy Of 1876, by which man not elected
was paced IN the Presidents Office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is THE Suns idea Of indie
penuence. In this respect there will be no
change In its programme for 1879.
The sun has fairy earned the hearty
hatred Of rsscals, frauds and humbugs Of
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not 1858 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, I He
Sun does not propose to make itself In
1879 magaz,ne Of ancient history. 1t 10
printed for the men and yemen Of to-day,
to-day. 1t has both tho disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the prompt
est, fullest and most accurate intelligence
of whatever ia the wide world is worth at
tentlon. 10 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-
canoe to the events of the coming year.
The discussions OF the press, tho debates
and acts Of Congress, and the movements
ii the leaders iu every section Of the Re-
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of 18S0-an event
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, whatever his political ideas or slle-
glance. To these elements of interest may
be added the probability that the Demo-
Gratis w II control both houses Of Congress,
the increasing feebleness OF the fraudulent
Administration. and the spread and
strengthe ming everywhere Of a healthy all
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 its weil-known
methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, Will To an I'M
portant part OF THE SUMS work for 1879.
