The Sun.
NEW YORK, 1883.


More people have read the sun during the year
just now passing than ever before since it was first
printed. No other newspaper published on this
side of the earth has been bought and read in any
year by so many men and women.
We are credibly informed that people buy, read
and like the Sun for the following reasons, among
| others:
Because its news columns present in attractive
form and greatest possible accuracy whatever has
interest for humankind the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the notable
folly the solid sense, the improving nonsensc-all
the news OF the busiest world at present revolving
in space.
Because people have learned that in its remarks
concerning persons and affairs the sun makes n
practice of telling them the exact truth to the best
of its ability three hundred and sixty-hve days in
the year. before election rs we'll as after about the
whales MS we'll as about the small fish, in the face
of dissent plainly and fearlessly as when sup
ported by general approval. The sun has absolute
| ly no purposes 10 serve, save the information OF
its readers and the furtherance of the common
good.
Because it is evcrybody's newspaper. No man is
80 humble that the Sun is Indifferent TO his welfare
and his rights No man is 80 rich that il can allow
injustice to be done him. No man, association
Of mea is powerful enough 10 be exempt from the
strict application Of its principles OF right and
wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for dozen years,
without intermisson and sometimes almost alone
| among newspapers, tho fight that has resulted in
! the recent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism and for honest government No mat
ter what party is in power, tho Sun stands and
will continue to stand like rock for the interests
of the people against the ambition of bosses, the
encroaehments of monoposts, and the dishonest
| schemes Of public robbers.
All this is what we told almost daily by our
friends. One man holds that the Sun is the best
gious newspaper published, because its Chris
tianity is undiluted with cant. Another holds that
1t is the best Republican newspaper ever printed,
because it has already whipped half of the rascas
out of that party and is proceeding with the other
half with unlimited vigor. A third believes 1t to
be the best magazine of general literature in exist
ence, because its readers miss nothing worthy of
notice that is current IN the world of thought. So
every friend of the Sun discovers of its many
sides that appeals with particular forco TO his ndi.
vidual liking.
If you already know the Sun you will observe
that 1888 it is little better than before. If
you do not already know the Sun you will find il to
be q mirror of all human activity, storehouse of
the choicest products OF common sense and imagi-
nation, mainstay for the cause of honest govern
ment, sentinel for genuine Jeifersonian Democra-
cy, scourge for wickcdness of every species, and
an uncomonly good investment for the coming
year.
