THE SUN,
NEW YORK, 1888.

More people have read THE SUN during the
year just now passing than ever before since il
| was first printed. M other newspaper pub
lished on this side of the earth has been bought
women
We are credibIy informed that pc 'plo buy,
read, aud like THE SUN for the following rea-
sons. among others:
Because its news columns present in attrac-
tive form and with the greatest possible accu-
racy 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
| the busiest world at present revolving In space
Because people have learned that in its ref
marks concerning persons and affairs TIE SUN
makes practice of telling them the exact
truth to the best of its ability three hundred
and siXty-tve days in the year, before election
Os well as after. about the whales as well as
about the small fish. in the face of dissent as
plainly and tearlesSly rs when supported by
general approval. THE SUN has absolutely no
purposes to serve, save the information OF its
reaGers and the furtherance of the common
good.
Because il is everybody's newspaper No,
man is so humble that THE sun l. Indifferent
to his welfare and his rights. No man is so
rich that it can allow Injustice tc be done him
No man, no association of IL en-. is powerful
enough to be exempt from the strict applica-
tion of its principles Of right and wrong.
Because III pOllticS III mas fought fOr dozen
years, without intermission and sometimes al
most alone among newspapers, the fight that
has resulted IN the recent verwhelming popu-
lar verdict against Robesonism and for honest
government. No matter what party is in pow
er. THE SUN stands and will continue to
stand like rock for the interests of the people
against the ambition of bosses, the encroach
ments of mnnopolsts, and the dishonest
schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily by
our friends. One man holds that THE 81 n is
the best religious newspaper ever published
because its Christianity is undiluted with can't
Another holds that il 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
undiminshed vigor A third believes it to
he 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 THE SUN dis
covers one of its many sides that appeals with
particular force to his individual liking
If you alrsady know THE SUN. you will OBJ
serve that in 1888 it Is little better than ever
before Ifvou 10 not already know THE SUN |
you will find it to be mIrroa of all human ac-
tivity, storehOuse OF the choicest products of
common sense and Imagination, mainstay
for the cause of honest government, sentinel
for genuine JeffersonIan Democracy, scourge
for wickedness of every species, and an un-
commonly good investment for the coming year
