NEW YORK, 1883

ss.sss.. s-'..s.ss.
More people have read TEE Sux during the
year inst now passing than ever before since
it was hrst printed No other newspaper pub-
lished On this side OF the earth has been
bought and read in any year BY 90 many
men and women.
weAfe crediblY informed that people bur.
read, and like The SUx for the following re.-
sons, among others:
Because its news columns present In attrac-
tive form and with greatest possible accuracy
whatever has interest for humankind; the
events the deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom.
the philosophy, the potable folly, the solid
sense, the improving nonsense--alI the news
OF the busiest world At present revolving in
space.
Because people have learned that in It's re-
marks concerning persons aud affairs TIE Sun
makes y practice OF telling them the exact
truth TO the best Of its ability three hundred
and sixty-iive daysin the year, before election
~ well rs after, about the whales as well %
about the small fish. in the face of dissent as
plainly aud ieaFltssly as when supported hs
general approval. The SUS has absolutely nv
purposes to serve, save the information OF ito
readers aud the iurtheranee 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 lie done
him. No man, no association of men, Is
powerful en-, ugh TO be exempt from the strict
application of its principles Of right and
wrong.
Because in politics IL has fought for dozen
Yeas, without intermissiOn and sometimes
almost alone among newspapers, the fight that
has resulted in the rrce ut Uverw helrhing popu-
lar verdict against Robesonism and Tor honest
government No matter what party is in
power, THE SUN stands aud will continue to
stand like q rock for the interests Of the
people against the ambition of bosses, the eu-
cr0achment OF monopolists. aud the dishonest
schemes Of pubic robbers.
All this il 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 10 undilutd with
cant. Another holds that il Is one Of the
best Republicans newspaper printed, because it
has already whipped half the rascals out Of
that party, aud is proceeding against the otter
half with undiminished vigor. A third be-
lieves il to be 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
SUK discovers one OF its many sides that APP
peals with particular force to his individual
liking.
Ii you already know TEE SUs, yoH will OBJ
serve that in 1883 il is little better than ever
Leore. If you do nos already know The Sex.
you viii fiHd il 10 lie - mirror Of all human
activity, stOrehouse OF the choicest products
Of common sense aud imagination, mainstay
for the course Of honest government, senti
mel for genuine JefFersOnian Democracy, q
scOurge for WickedneSs Of every species, aud
an uncomunonly good Investment for the
coming year.
