Mexico weekly ledger. (Mexico, Mo.) 1855-1956, 1882-12-14
FrHE SUN,
NEW YORK, 1883.

More people have read The Sun during
the year just passing than ever befor since
It was first printed. No other newspa-
per published on this side of the earth has
been bought and read in q year byiso many
men and women.
We are creditably informed that people
buy, read and like The Sun for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in at
tractiye form and with the greatest pos
sible accuracy whatever has interest fol-
humankind; the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy,
the notable folly, the solid sense, the Inn
proving nonsense--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 a practice of telling them
the exact truth to the best of it's ability
365 days in the year, before election as
well as after, about the whales as well as
about the small fish, in the face of dis
sent as plainly and fearlessly as when
supported by general approval. The Sun
has absolutely no purposes to serve, save
the information Of its. readers ana the
I1urtherance of the common good.
Because il is everybody's newspaper.
No man is so humble that The Sun is in
different to his 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 exempt
from the strict application of it's princi-
pes of right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for a
dozen years, without intermission and
sometimes almost alone among newspa-
pers, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict
against Robesonism and for honest gov
ernment. No matter what party is in
power, The Sun stands and will continue
to stand like rock for the interests Of the
people against the ambition Of bosses, the
encroachments of monopolists and the
dishonest schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily
by our friends. One man holds that The
Sun is the best religious newspaper ever
published, because its Christianity is un-
diluted with cant. Another holds that it
is the best republican newspaper printed
because it has already whipped half of the
rascals out of the party, and is proceed
ing against the other half with undimin-
ished vigor. A third believes it to be the
best magazine OF general literature in ex-
iSecISC3 ptCduSC HISS uOI0lQ0
worthy of notice that is currant in the
world of thought. So every friend of The
Sun discovers one of its many sides that
appeals with particular force to his indi-
vidual liking.
If you already know The Sun, you will
observe that in 1888 it is a little better
than ever before. If you do not already
know The Sun, you will find it to be a
mirror OF all human activity, storehouse
of1she choicest products of common sense
and imagination, mainstay for the cause
of honest government, sentinel for gen.
uine Jeffersonian democracy, scourge
for wickedness of every species, and an
uncommonly good investment for the
coming year. ~
