LITERARY.
the SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every osy
during the year to come. Its pur pose anc
method will be the same as in the past:
10 present all the news in readable
shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
IHE SUN has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be independent OF everybody and
everything save the Truth and its own
convictions of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the oon-
fiuence and friendship of wider consrtu-
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 1t 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 AZ against the dishonest DEM
ocrat. 1t does not take Its cue from the
utterances Of any pol ,tlcian or political Or
ganlzstion. 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 Tor the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are yiolated-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 inde-
penuence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
The sun has fairly earned the nearly
hatred of rascals, frauds and humbugs Of
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not iess in the year 1879 than
in 1878. 1877, or any year gone by. THE
sun will continue 10 shine on the wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
Whist the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, He
sun does not propose to make itself In
1879 magazine OF ancient history. 1t 10
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 accura intelligence
of wba lever iu the wide world Is worth at
tention. 10 this end the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjuinted condition of par
ties iu this country and the uncertainty Of
the future lend an extraordinary signif-
cance to the events Of the oomiUg year.
The discussions oil the press, the debates
and acts Of Congress, and the movements
of the leaders i'll every section OF the he
public, will have u direct bearing on the
Presidential election of l880-an event
which must be regarded with the must
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, whatever his political ideas or slie-
