Tgs Sun.
NEW YORK, 1882

TEE Sun for 1882 will make its fifteenth
ANIMAL revolution under the present manage
ment, shining, as always, for all. big and little,
mean aud gracious. contanted and unhappy,
Republican and Democratic, depraved and virtu-
oUs, intelligent and obtuse. THE Suns light
is for mankind and womankind of every sort
bat its genial warmth is for the good, while it
pours hot discomfort on tine blistering backs of
the persistently wicked.
The Sun of 1868 was newspaper OF a new
kind. 1t discarded many of the forms, and q
multitude Of the superfuous words and phrases
of ancient journalism. 1t undertook to report
in fresh. succinct, unconventional way all
the news of the world. emitting no event cf
human interest, and commenting upon affa irs
with the fearlessness of absolute independence.
The success of this experiment was the success
Of The Sun. 1t effected permanent change in
the style of American newspapers. Every i'm
p0rtant journal established 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
tbs SyN's example.
The Sun of 1882 will be the same ou'spoken,
trutb-teling, and interesting pevspapt
By liberal use of the means which an abuu-
dant prosperity affords, we shall make it better
than ever before.
We shall print all the news. putting it into
readable shape. and measuring It's importance,
not by the traditional yardstick, bnt 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 Bokbars
In politics we have decided opinions; and are
accustomed to express them in language thss
can be understood. We say what we think
about men and events. That habit is che only
secret of The Suns political course.
The WEEKLY SUN'gathers into eight pages the
best matter Of the seven daily issues. An Agri-
cultural Department of uneqUalled merit, full
market reports and liberal proportion of
literary, scientific, and domestic intelligence
complete TIE WEEKLY Sun aud make it the best
newspaper for the farmers household that was
ever printed.
