The Sun.
NEW YORK, 1883.

More people have read the Sun during the year
just now passing than ever before since 1t was first
printed: No other newspaper published ON this
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 its 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
practice of telling them the exact truth TO the best
of its ability three hundred and sxty-hve days in
the year, before election well AFTER about the
whales as well as about the small fish, in the face
of dissent as 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.
humble that the Sun is Indifferent to his welfare
and his rights. man is 80 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.
without intermission and sometimes almost alone
among newspapers, the fight that has resulted in
the recent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism and for honest government No mat:
ter what party is in power, the Sun stands and
will continue TO stand like rock for the interests
of the people against the ambition of BOSSES the
encroachmens 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-
ligous newspaper ever published, because its Chris
tianity is undiuted 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. third believes IL 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 force to his indi
vidual liking.
If you already know the Sun you will observe
that 1883 il is "a little better than before III
you do not already know the Sun you will find il TO
be mirror of all human activity, storehouse of
the choicest products of common sense and imagi-
nation, mainstay for the cause of honest govern
ment, sentinel for genuine Jeffersonan Democra-
an uncomonly good investment for tho coming
year.
