The Sun.
NEW YORK, 1888.

More people have read the Sun during the year
just now passing than before since IL 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 the SUN for the following reasons, among
others
Because it's news columns present in attractive
form and 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 remarks
concerning persons and affairs the Sun makes u
practice of telling them the exact truth TO the best
of its ability three hundred and sixty-fve days in
the year, before election well as AFTER about the
whales as we'll about the small fish, in the face
of dissent plainly and fearlessly as when sup
ported by general approval. The sun has absolute
ly no purposes to serve, save the information OF
its readers and the furtherance OF the common
good.
Because IL 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 IL 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 intermission and sometimes almost alone
among newspapers the fight that has resulted in
the recent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonsm and for honest government. No mat
win continue to stand like rock for the interests
of the people against the ambition of bosses, the
encroachments 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 re-
lgious newspaper ever published because its Chris.
tianity is undiluted with cant. Another holds that
1T is the best Republican newspaper ever printed
because it has already whipped half Of the rascals
out of that party and is proceeding with the other
half with unlimited vigor. A third believes it to
be the best magazine Of general literature in exist
ence 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 particular orco to his indi-
| vidual liking.
If you already know the Sun you will observe
that 1883 il is little better than before. III
you do not already know the Sun you will find 1t to
be mirror of all human activity, storehouse OF
the choicest products Of common sense and imagi-
ment, sentinel for genuine Jeffersonian Democra-
cy, scourge for wickedness OF every Species and
an uncomonly good investment for the coming
year.
