THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1888.

More people have read The Sun
during the year just now passing than
ever before since it was first printed.
No other newspaper published on this
side of the earth has been bought and
read in any year by so many men and
women.
We are credibly informed that
people buy, read, and like The Sun
for the following reasons, among
others:
Because its news columns present
in attractive form and with the great
est possible accuracy whatever has in
terest for humankind; 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 revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in
its remarks concerning persons and af-
fairs The Sun makes practice of tell
ing them the exact truth to the best of
its ability three hundred and sixty
five days in the year, before election
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 it's
readers and the furtherance of the
common 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 is so rich that it can
allow injustice to be done him. No
man, no association of men, is power
full enough to exempt from the strict
application of its principles of right
and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for
dozen years, without intermission
and sometimes almost alone among
newspapers, the fight that has resulted
in the recent overwhelming popular
verdict against Robesonism and for
honest government. No matter what
party is in power, The Sun stands and
will continue to stand like a 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 undiluted with cant.
Another holds that it is the best Re-
publican newspaper printed, because
it has already whipped half of the
rascals out of that party, and is pro-
ceeding against the other half with
undiminished vigor. 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 discovers
one of its many sides that appeals
with particular force to his individual
! liking.
If you already know The Sun, you
will observe that 1888 it is q little bet.
