AN English medical journal does not
agree with those who woSld do away al
together with tobacco instead of making
temperate use of it. The writer says:
"We live in times in which the custom is
to denounce as deleterious everything
which happens TO be pleasant. Man
could probably live without tobacco. as
he formerly did without clothes; but the
fact that both these luxuries are in the
nature of comforts should not necessarily
spur us into action against either OF
them"

The Congregational Club Of Boston has
been discussing the question how to win
young men to Christianity. The Rev.
r. r. Meredith: said "The churches to-
day do not get the best and sharpest
young men. They get the goody-goody
ones, easily enough; but those who do
the thinking are not brought into the
Church in great numbers. You cannot
reach them by the Bible. How many
did Moody touch in this city during his
revival days? You can count them on
your fingers. The man who wants them
cannot get them with the Bible under
his arm. He must be like them, sharp.
They cannot be gathered by sentimental
ity. Ifyou say to them, Come to Jesus,
very likely they will reply, Go to thun-
der The thing to be done with such a
man is to first get into his heart, and
then lead him into salvation before he
knows il.

m ,numents Of advancement. II cost
many years of agitation to make Con-
gress understand that the Postofice De-
partment WAS something more than q
mere business enterprise on the part Of
the government. For half a century the
postal system didn't pay mainly because
it was too costly to command the sup
port of the people; and n self-sustaiDiDg
postal system has been more and more
nearly reached inst as we reduced the
rates of postage. Now, with the cheap
est system of our national history, the
postal department pays, and General
Bingham, in an able and complete re-
view of the whole system, now demon
strateS that two cent postage will pay as
we'll as the higher rate has paid in the
past.

It g,o vs. more and more certain every
day that Congress is disposed to pass q
bill for the revision of the tariff this St s.
sion. However much individual men,
bers differ as to the particular rates of
duty on specified articles or classes Of
articles, they apparently generally agree
that the country demands tariff revision,
demands it loudly and demands it at the
hands of Congress this winter. There is
in the general opinion, an emergency.
For this reason both the House and SEN
ate turn to the work Of the Tariff Com
mission ms forming the only substantial
basis of the hope and expectation within
them. There is scarcely single men,
Der of Congress OF either house but OBJ
jects to some particular feature of that
work, and thsre is scarcely one of these
objectors but would, could he have the
opportunity, make an effort to modify
the Objectionable features.

THE n. Y. SUN
NEW YORK, 1853.

More people have read THE sun during
the year just now passing than ever before
since 1t was first printed. No other news
paper published on this side of the earth has
been bought and read in any year by so many
men and women.
We are creditably informed that people
buy, read, and like THESUN for The follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in at
tractive form and with the greatest possible
accuracy whatever has interest for human
kind the events, the deeds, and misdeeds, the
wisdom, the philosophy, the notable folly,
the solid sense, the improving nonsense--all
the news of the busiest world at present re-
Volving In space.
Because people have learned that in its re.
marks concerning persons and affairs The
SUN makes practice of telling them the ex-
act truth to the best OF ability three hundred
and s!xty-hve days In the year, before elec-
tion as well as after, about the whales as
we'll rs the small fish, in the face of dissent rs
general approval. The SUN has absolutely
no purposes to serve, rave the Information of
its readers and the furtherance Of the COIN
mon good
Because It is everybOdy's newspaper. No
man is so humble that THE SUN is Indifferent
to his welfare and his rights. No man, no
association Of men, is powerful enough to be
exempt from the strict application Of its
principles of right and wrong.
Bee use in politics II has fought for n dozen
years, without intermissiOn and sometimes
almost alone among newspapers, the fight
that has resulted in the recent overw elming
popular verdict against RObesonism and for
honest government. No matter what party
is in power, THE Sun stands and will con-
tinue tn stand like rock for he interests OF
the people against the ambition of bosses the
encroachments of mOnOpOlists, and the dis.
honest schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily
by our friends. One man holds that The
SUN is the hest reilly ious newspaper ever pub
lished, because its Christianity is undilutod
with cant. Another holds that 1t is the best
Republican newspaper printed, because 1t has
already whipped half Of the rascals out of
that party. and the proceedings against the
other half with unde minshed vig0r. third
believes II to be the hest magazine ofgeneral
literature in existence. because its readers
miss nothing worthy of notice that is current
in the world OF thought. So every friend oi
The SUN discovers one Of It's many sides that
appeals with particular force TO his individu-
al liking.
If you already know THE SUN, you will OBJ.
serve that in 1888 IL is n little better than ever
before. II you do not already know THE
SUN, you will hnd II TO he u mirror Of all hu-
man activity, stOrehouse of the choicest
products of common sense and Imagination, q
mainstay for the cause of honest government,
sentinel for genuine JeffersOnlan Demo
cracy, scOurge for wickedness of every
81 ecies, an and uncommonly good investment
for the coming year.
