1t is the Peoples paper, devoted
to their interest and welfare.

men and measures that benefit the
country.

measures that seek only personal
gain at the expense of the cOuntry's
welfare.
Its editorial columns are for the
especial purpose of exposing the
frauds of government officials, and
laws cOuched in language calculated
to deceive the understanding, and
make plain to its readers the mo-
tives, causes and effects of general
and special legislative acts.
Its news columns contain the
latest news and intelligence that
can be obtained from the four quar-
tiers of the globe, by means of the
telegraph, mails and correspond
ence.
Its agricultural columns are the
best adapted to the wants of farm
ers, all of whom are invited TO give
their experience and results of new
ideas and experiments of all kinds
of improvements calculated to adj
vance the farming interests.
One issue of the Enquirer con-
tanning more solid information and
intelligence, than can be had from
fifty of the so-called literary papers.
None can lay aside the Enquirer
without admitting a valuable addi-
ton to his or her stock of know
ledge.
Its market reports have for years
been acknowledged as the most
complete and reliable published, and
of great value to Stock Dealers,
Producers and Tradesmen generally.
1t has departments and reading
for the old and the young. For the
family circle and the counting house
for the merchant and mechanic
for the farmer and stock dealer, and
for ladies and gentlemen of every
calling and station in life.
Its terms are low as any first class
paper can be printed for, and the
quality and quantity of reading
matter used not excelled by any
other paper.

THE
WEEKLY SUN.
171e. NEW YORK. 1916

Eighteen hundred ana seventy
six is the Centennial year. 1t Is
also the year when an Opposition
House of Representatives, the first
since the war, will be i'll power at
Washington and the year OF the
twenty third election OF President
of the United States. All of these
events are sure to be of great inter-
est and Importance, especially to the
two latter; and all of them and ey-
erything connected with them will
be fully and freshly reported and
expounded in The Sun.
The Opposition House of Repre-
sentatives, taking up the line OF in
quiry opened years ago by The Sun,
will sternly and diligently investi-
gate the cOrruptions and misdeeds
of Grants administration and will,
it is to be hoped, lay the foundation
for a new and better period in our
National history. OF all this The
Sun will contain complete and ac-
curate accounts, furnishing its read
ers with early and trustworthy in
formation upon these absorbing
topics.
The twenty-third Presidential
election, with the proportions for
it, will be memorable as deciding
upon Grants aspirations for a third
term of power and plumber, and
still more as deciding who shall be
the candidate OF the party OF Re-
form, and as electing that candidate.
Concerning all these subjects, those
who read The Sun have the constant
means of being thoroughly well in
formed.
The Weekly Sun, which has at
tanned a circulation of over eighty
thousand copies, already has its
readers in every State and Territory,
and we trust that the year 1876 will
see their numbers doubled. 1t will
continue to be a thorough news
paper. All the general news of the
day will bc found in it, condensed
when unimportant, at full length
when of moment and always, we
trust, treated in clear, interesting
and instructive manner.
1t is our aim to make the Weekly
Sun the best family newspaper in
the world, and we shall continue to
give in its columns a large amount
of miscellaneous reading, such as
stories, tales, poems, scientific in
telligence and agricultural Informal
ton, for which we are not able to
make room in our daily edition.
The agricultural department espe-
cially is one of its prominent fea-
lures. The fashions are also regu-
larry reported in its columns and
SO are the markets of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages
with fifty-six broad columns is only
Sl.20 a year, postage prepaid. AS
this price barely repays the cost of
the paper. no discount callS made
from this rate to clubs, agents, post
