The Sun hts btr!i. is and will cont iuue to he
independent OF everybody and every thing Save
the Truth aud its own convictions OF duty.
That IN the only policy which an luncst new
paper need have. Itlat il the policy which has
won for this newspaper the conn0enc@ and
friendship Of wider constituency than Was
etr! rnioyed Ivy any American journal.

DrIl,nc!a, S.s against the dlsilone-: Republican,
aud for tie honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take its cue
from the UttHrances Of any politician or pOliti-
cal organization. 1t gives its support unreserv
eddy when men or measures are in agreement
with the Constitution and with the principles
upon which this Republic was founded for the
people. Whenever tho Constitution and con-
stitttlon principles arc violated-as in the out
ra"cors conspiracy OF 1878, by which man not
elected was placed in the Presidents office,

right. That is Tho Suns idea OF independence
programme for 1879
The SIM has fairly earned tie hearty hatred
of rascnls frauds, and hnmhucs. Of all sorts and
size. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less
i'll the year 1879, than in 1873, 1877, or any year
gone by. The Sun will "ontlnnc to shin on the
wicked with nnnli1lgated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be CON
stantly kept before the people, The Sun does
not propose to make itself in 1879 a magazine
OF ancient history. 1t is printed for tho men
women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs of to-day. II has both the DISPOSE
ton and the ability to affords it's readers the
promptest; fullest. and most accurate inteli-
tention. To this end the resource belonging to
Wcll-cstablished prosperity will be literally en-
ploved.

this country, and the tatnty of the furture
