The suggestion of President Arthur that
there should be reform in matters of political
assessments is enough to make one smile,
when we see how persstently the business
has been carried on during the last political
campaign. He seems to have made no efforts,
as far as we know, to put a stop to the in
famous practice.

will, during the present session, reduce the
domestic letter postage from three cents to
two cents. The Postmaster General is not
in favor of it, but for all that it may go
through, the President having recommended
it. As the postal service earned last year
million dollars more than lis expenses, such
reduction is practicable.

NEW YORK, 1888.

More people have read The SIN during the year
Just now passing than ever before since ii was
first printed. No other newspaper published
this side of the earth has been bought and read in
any year by so many men and women
We are crcdbly informed that people buy, read,
and like The SIM for the following reasons, among
others
Because its news columns present in attractive
form and with the greatest possible accuracy
whatever has interest for humankind the events,
the deeds and msdeeds, the wisdom, the phioso
ply, the notable folly, the solid sense, the i'm
proving nOnScnse-all the news of the busiest
world at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in its remarks
concerning persons and affairs 7he 81" makes n
practice of telling them the exact truth to the
best of its ability three hundred and siXty-nvc
days in the year, before election as well as after
about the whales aS well as about the small fish,
in the face of dissent rs plainly and tearlessly as
when supported by general approval. the SMn
mas absolutely no purposes to serve, save the in
the common good.
Because it is everybody newspaper. No man
welfare and his rights. No man is so rich that it
can allow injustice to be done him. No man, no
association of men, is powerful enough TO be eX-
empt from the strict application of its principles
of right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for dozen
years, without intcrmssOn and sometimes almost
alone among newspapers, the fight that has
suited in the recent overwhelming popular YER
dict against Robesonsm and for honest govern
nent. No matter what party is in power Ihe
SIN stands and will continue to stand like a rock
for the interest of the people against the ambi-
ton OF bosses, the encroachment Of monopoliss
and the dishonest schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily by our
friends. One man holds that Ihe Sa" is the best
religious newspaper ever published, because its
Christianity is undiluted with cant Another holds
that 1t is the best Republican newspaper printed,
because 1t has already whipped half of the ras-
Gals out of that party, and is proceeding against
the other half with undminshed vigOr. a third
believes it to be the hest magazine of general lit
erature in existence, because its readers miss
nothing worthy of notice that is current in the
world of thought. So every friend of TIE Sun
discovers one of its many sides that appeals with
particular force to his individual liking.
If you already know THE SIN, you will observe
that in 1888 it is little better than ever before
If you do not already know The San, you will find
it to be a mirror of all human activity, store
house of the choicest products of common sense
and imagination, a mainstay for the cause of hon
est government, Il sentinel for genuine Jefferson
ian Democracy, a scourge for wickedness of every
species, and an uncommOn!y good investment for
the coming year.
