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 pub
lsled on this side of the earth has been
bought and read i'll any year by SD many men
ana women.
We are credibly informed that people buy.
read, and like The Sun for the following rea-
sons. amoig others:
because its news columns present in attrac-
tive form! and with the greatest possible accu
ricy whatever has interest lOr humankind ];
the events. the deeds and misdeets. the wis
dom, the philosophy, the notable folly, the
solid sense, the improving nonseusc-all the
news Of the busiest world at present revolving
i'll space.
Because people have learned that in its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs The
Sun makes II practice of teilin. them the en-
act truth to the best Of its ability three hun
,lrcd and sixty. five days in the year. before
election as well as after, about the whales as
well lis about the small fish, in the face of dis
sent us plainly and fcarlcssly as when sup
ported by general approval. The Sun has ab
solufely no purposes to serve, save the infor
nation Of its readers and tho furthcrance 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 pow
crfu. enough to be exempt from the strict ap.
p~lication OF its principles Of right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for a dozen
years, without ip~ternissiQu and sometimes az.
most alone among newspapers. the fight that
has resulted in the recent overwhelming pop
ular verdict against RobesOnism and for hon
est government. No matter what party is in
power, Tn Sun stands and will continue to
stand like a rock for the interests of the peO.
pie against the ambition Of bosses, the en-
croachments of mOnOp0lists, and the dishOn-
est schemes Of public robbers.
All this is what We are told almost daily by
our friends. One man holds that The Sun is
the Oest 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, aud is proceeding against the 9TH
er half with updeminished vigor. A third be.
lieve it to be tie best magagazine of general
literature in existence, because its readers
miss nothing worthy of notice that is current
in the world Of thought. so every FREUD of
The Sun discovers one Of its many sides that
appeals with particular force to his individual
liking.
Ifyou already know The Sun, you will OBJ
serve that in 1883 it is a little better than ey-
er before. If You do not already know The
Sun, you will find it to be q mirror of all hui
man activity. a stOrehOuse of the choicest pro
ducts of common sense and imagination, a
mainstay for the cause of honest government,
a sentinel for genuine JetfersOnian DemOcra-
cy, a scourge for wickedness of every species,
and an uncOmn0nly good investment for the
coming year.
