THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1884

About sixty million copies of frHES Sun have
gone out of our establishment during the
past twelve months.
If you where to paste end to end all the
columns of all THE SUNS printed and sold
last year you would get n continuous strip of
interesting information, common sense, wis.
dom, sound doctrine. and sane wit long
enough to reach from Printing House square
to he top of Mount Copernicus in the mo on
then back to Printing Hou,e square, and
then three quarters OF the way back to the
NOON again.
But THE SUN IL written for the Inhabitants
of the earth. this same strip OF intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty,seven or
twcnty.eight times.
If every buyer of copy of THE SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over il,
and Il his wife or his grandfather has spent
another Il ur, this newspaper in 1888 has ai-
forded the human race thirteen years Of
steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by li'tle calculations like these
that you can form any idea of the circulate ton
ofthe most popular of American newspapers,
or Of its influence IN the opinions and actions
OF American men and women.
TnE SUN Is, and will continue to be, Il
newspaper which tells the truth without fear
of consequences, which gets at the facts no
matter how much the process costs, which
presents the news of the world without waste
of words and in the most rcahle shape, which
is working with ali its heart for the eau @ of
honest government, and which ther, fore be-
lieyes that the Republican party must 20.

If you know THE SUN. you like it already,
and you will read 1t with accustomed dlIi-
grnce and profit during what Is sure to hc
the most interesting year in Its hist.ry. II
