THE sun.
NEW YORK, 1883

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 he Sun for the following rea-
son, among others:
Because its news columns present in attrac-
tive form and with the greatest possible &C.
curacy whatever has interest for humankind !;
the events, the deeds and mi.deeds, the wis.,
dom, the philosophy, the notable folly, the
solid sense, the improving nonsenss--al1 the
news of the busiest world at present revolving
in space.
Because people have learned that in its re-
m lrks concerning persons and affairs The Sun
mikes practice of telling them the exact truth
to the best of its ability three hundred and
sixty-6ve days in the year. before election as
we'll as after. about the whales as well as abou,
the small fish, in the face of dissent as plainly
and fearlessly as when supported by general
approval. The Sun has-absolutely no purposes
to serve, save the information of its readers and
the surtherance 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 powerful
enough to be exempt from the strict application
of its principles of right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for dozen
years, without inter mission aud sometimes al
most 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 10
stand like rock for the interest of the people
against the ambition of bosses, the encroach-
ments 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 Republican
newspaper printed, because it has already
whipped half of the rascals out of that party,
and is proceeding against the other half with
-nnaiasin;shed vigor. A third believes it to be
the best magazine of general literature in exis-
teace, 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 partic-
l,I fore. to his individual liking.
II you already know The Sun, you will OBJ
serve that in 1883 it is a little better than ever
before If you do not already know The Sun,
you will find it to be mirror of all human
activity, a storehouse of the choicest products
OF common sense and imagination, malnStay
for the cause of honest government, sentinel
for genuine Jeffersonian Democracy, scourge
for wickedness of every species, and an uncom-
monty good investment for the coming year.
