The Sun.
NEW YORK. 1882.

The sun for 1882 will make its fift-
eenth annual revolution snder the
present management, shining, as
always, for all big and little, mean and
gracious, contented and unhappy, Rep
ublican and Democratic, depraved and
vituous, intelligent and obtuse. THE
SUMS light is for mankind and
womankind Of every sort; but Its genial
warmth Is for the good, while 1t pours
hot discomfort on the blistering backs
Of the persistently wicked.
The SUN of 1868 was newspaper Of
a new kind. 1t discarded many Of
the forms, and a multitude of thesuper-
fluous words and phrases of ancient
journalism. 1t undertook to report in
fresh, succinct, unconventional way
all the news of the world, omitting no
event of human interest, and commen-
ting upon affairs with the fearlessness
OF absolute independence. The sue
cess OF this experiment was the success
of The Sun. 1t effected permanent
change In the style of American news.
papers. Every important journal est
ablished in this country in the dozen
years past has been modelled after
THE Sun. Every important journal
already existing has been modified
and bettered by the force of THE
SUMS example.
THE SUN of 1882 will be the same
outspoken, truthtelling, and interest
ing newspaper.
By q liberal use of the means which
an abundant prosperity affords, we
shall make it better than ever before.
We shall print all the news, putting
it into readable shape, and measuring
its importance, not by the traditional
yardstick, but by its real interest to the
people. Distance from Printing House
Square is not the first consideration
with The SUN. Whenever anything
happens worth reporting we get the
particulars, whether it happens in
Brooklyn or in Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions;
and are accustomed to express them in
language that can be understood. We
say what we think about men and
events. That habit is the only secret
of THE Suns political course.
THE WEEKLY SUN gathers into
eight pages the best matter of the
seven daily issues. An Agricultural
Department of of funequalled merii, full
market reports. and liberal proper
ton of litarary, scientific, and domestic
intelligence complete THE WEEKLY
SUN, and make 1t the best newspaper
for the farmers household that was
ever printed.
Who does not read and like THE
SUNDAY SUN, each number of which
is q Golconda of interesting literature,
with the best poetry of the day, prose
every line worth reading, news, humor
matter enough to fill a good sized
book, and infinitely more varied and
entertaining than any book, big or lit
tic?
