More people have read THE SUx during the
rear just now passing than ever before sincs
it was 6rst printed. No other newspaper puo-
lished on this side Of the earth has been
bought and read In any year BY 90 many
men and women.
We are eredibly informed that people buy.
read, and like Tue Sux for ths following rs..-
sons, among others:
Because tis news columns present in attrac-
tive form and with 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-all the news
OF the busiest world at present revolving in
space.
Because people have learned that in its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs THE SUx
makes = practice OF telling them the exact
truth to the best Of It's ability three hundred
and sixIy-aive days In the year. before election
as well as AFTER, about the whales as well Q
about the small fish, in the face Of dissent as
plainly and fearlessly as when supported bs
general approval. THE SuS has absolutely n
purposes to serve, save the information of ito
readers and the iurtherance OF the common
good.
Because IL is everybody's newspaper. No
man Is 80 humble that THR SuE Is Indifferent
TO his welfare and his rights. No man is so
rich that IL can allow injustice 20 lie done
him. No man, no association cf men, is
powerful enough TO be exempt from the strict
application Of its principles Of right and
wrong.
Because in politics If has fought for dosen
years, without intermissiOn and sometimes
almost alone among newspapers, the fight that
has resulted Ia the receat overw helsning popu~
lar verdict against Robesonism aud Tor honest
government. No matter what party is in
power, The SUS stands and will continue 10
stand like rock for the interests Of the
people agains. the ambition Of bosses, the en-
croachment VI monOpOlists. and the dishonest
schemes Of pubic robbers.
All this Is what we are told almost daily
by our friends. One man holds that The SUN
is the best r,ligions newspaper ever published,
because its Christianity is undilnted with
cant. Another holds that it is one Of the
best Republican newspaper printed, because IL
has already whipped half the raseals out Of
that party, aud is proceeding against the otter
half with undiminished vigor. A third be-
heves IL 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 TH1
SUN discovers one OF its many sides that ap-
peals with particular force to his individual
liking.
Ii you already know TIE Sux, You will OBJ
serve that in 1883 il is little better than ever
before. lfyou do not already know The SUE
you viii find il TO he IA mirror OF all human
activity, stOrehonse OF the choicest products
OF common sense and imagination, n mainstay
for the course OF honest government, a senti
mel for genuine Jeifersonian Democracy, a
scourge for wickedness Of every species, and
an nncomtnOnly good investment for the
coming year.
