TIL Il SUN
new YORK, 1883.

More people have read The Sun during
the year just passing than ever befor since
it was first printed. No other newspa-
per published on this side of the earth has
been bought and read in year byso many
men and women.
We are creditably informed that people
buy, read and like The Sun for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in at
tractive form and with the greatest pos
sible accuracy whatever has interest for
humankind; the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy,
the notable folly, the solid sense, the i'm
proving nonsense-all the news of the
busiest world at present revolving in
space.
Because people have learned that IN its
remarks c"ncernt"g persons and affairs
The Sun makes a practice of telling them
the exact truth to the best Of its ability
365 days in the year, before election as
well as after, about the whales as well as
about the small fish, in the face of dis
sent rs 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
| furtherance of the common good.
| Because it is eyerybody's newspaper.
No man is SO humble that The Sun is IN
different. 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 princi-
pes of right and wrong.
| Because in politics it has fought for q
dozen wears, without intermission and
sometimes almost alone among newspa-
pers, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict
against Robesonism and tor honest gov
ernment. No matter what party Is il
power, The Sun stands and will continue
to stand like a rock for the interests Of the
people against the ambition Of bosses, the
entertainments of monopOlistS and tht
dishonest schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost dali,
by our friends. One man holds that The
Sun is the best religious newspaper evel
published, because its Christianity is un'
diluted with cant. Another holds that i
is the best republican newspaper printed
because it has already whipped half Of th'
rascals out of the party, and is proceed
ing against the other half with undimin
ished yigOr. A third believes it to be th
best magazine of general literature in ex
iistence, because its readers miss nothin:
worthy of notice that is currant in th'
world of thought. So every friend of Th
Sun discovers one of its many sides tha
appeals with particular force to his indi
vidual liking.
If you already know The Sun, you viii
observe that in 1888 it is little bette
than ever before. If you do MT alread
know The Sun, you will find il to be
mirror of all human activit,, a storehous
of the choicest products of common sens
and Imagination, mainstay for the caus
of honest government, n sentinel for gen
uine Jeffersonian democracy, scourg
for wickedness of every species, and a
uncommonly good investment for tn
coming year.
