.sllNEw YORK, 1883

/ More peo1I,e have read THE sun during the
Year TIst noyyrassing than eye er befsre since il
was first printed. No other newspaper pub
lished on this SIDE ofthe earth has been bought
and read in any year by SO many men and
We are credibfy informed that people buy,
read, and like THE SUN for the following rea-
sons, among others:
| Because its news columns present in attrac-
| tive form and with the greatsst-possiblea accu-
racy whatever has interest for humankind; the
events, the deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom,
1.-THE philosophy, the notable folly. the solid
sense, the Improving nonsense-all the news OF
the busiest Grid at present revolving lu space.
| Because people have learned that in its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs THE SUN
makes practice of telling them the exact
truth to the best of its ability three hundred
and siXty-tve days In the year, before election
os wellss after about the whales as well as
| about the small fish. in the face of dissent as
plainly and iearlessly as when supported by
general approval. THE sun has absolutely no
purposes to serve. save the information Of its
reaGers aud the furtherance of thecommon
good. q,
Because il is-eyeryhody's newspaper. No
mah'is 50 hJfmI,le thatTHE SUN is sindiferent
to his welfare and his rights. No man is so
rich that il cIn allow Injustice te be done him.
\ No man, no association of II en-, is powerful
enough to be exempt from the strict appliea-
| tiOn of it's principles Of right and wrong.
| Because in politics il has fought for dozen
years, without intermissiou and sometimes al
most alone among newspapers, the fight that
has resulted IN the recent overw helming popu-
| lar verdict against Rnhescnism and for honest
government. No matter what party is in pow
! er. THE sun Stands aud will continue to
stand like rock for the interests Of the people
against the ambition of bosses, the eneroach
| ments of mnnOpolistS, and the dishonest
| schemes of public robbers. ..f
| All this is what We are told almost daily by
our friends. One man holds that THE II is
the best religious newspaper ever published,
because its Christianity Is undiluted with can't.
| Another holds that il Is the best Republican
| newspaper printed, because it has already
whipped half Of the rastals out of that party,
| and is proceeding against the ether nall with
Iundiminished yigor. A third believes it to
be the best magazine of general literature in
existence. because its readers miss nothing
worthy of notice that is current In the world
of thought So every friend OF THE sun dis
covers one of its many sides that appeals with
particular force to bis individual liking
