The Sun.
NEW YORK, 1888.

More people have read the Sun during the year
just passing than before since it 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 greatest possible accuracy whatever has
| interest for humankind the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the notable
folly, the solid sense the improving nonsense-al
the news of the busiest world at present revolving
| in space.
concerning persons and affairs the Sun makes n
practice of telling them the exact truth TO the best
of its ability three hundred and sixtyfve days in
the year, before election well AFTER about the
whales as well as about the small fish, in the face
of dissent Us plainly and fearlessly as when sup
ported by general approval. The sun has absolute
| ly no purposes 10 serve, tho information of
its readers and the furtherance of the common
good.
Because il is everybody's newspaper. No man is
so humble that the Sun Is indifferent TO his welfare
and his rights. No man is rich that il can allow
| injustice to be done him. No man, association
of men is powerful enough TO be exempt from the
strict application Of its principles of right and
wrong.
Because in politics il 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
liobesonism and for honest government. No mat
ter what party is in power, the Sun stands and
will continue 70 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 told almost daily by our
friends One man holds that the Sun is the best
ligious newspaper published because its Chris
tanity is unduted with can't Another holds that
1t is the best Republican newspaper ever printed,
because it has already whipped half of the rascals
out of that party and is proceeding with the other
half with unlimited vigor A third believes it to
be the best magazine OF general literature in exist
ence 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 indi
vidual liking.
If you already know the Sun you will observe
that 1888 il is little better than ever before If
you do not already know the Sun you will find il TO
be mirror OF all human activity, q storehouse of
the choicest products of common sense and imagi
nation, mainstay for the of honest govern
ment, sentinel for genuine Jeffersonian Democrat
cy, scourge for wickedness of every species, and
an uncomonly good investment for the coming
year.
