THE TIMES,
PH1LIDELPHIA

About sixty, million copies Of THE SUN have
gone out Four establishment during the past
twelve months.
If You were to paste end, to end all the col
umns of all The SUNS printed and sold last year
you would get a continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound doe
trine, and sane wit long enough to reach from
Printing House square to the top of Mount Co
pernicus in the moon, then back to Printing
House square, and then three-quarteres Of the
way back to the moon again. r..
l. But THE SUN is written for the inhabitants of
the earth; this same strip of intelligence would
girdle the globe twenty-sevon or twenty eight
times.
If every buyer of a copy of THE SUN during
the past year has spent only ono hour over it,
and If his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1888 has afford
ed the human race thirteen thousand years OF
steady reading, night and day.
1t Is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea OF the circulation of the
most popular OF American newspapers or of Its
influence on the opinions and actions OF Ameri-
can men and women.
The Sun is, and will continue to be, news
paper which tells the truth without fear of con.
sequences, which gets at the facts no matter
how much the process costs which presents the
news of all the world without waste OF words
and in the most readable shape, which is work
ing with all its heart for the cause OF honest
government, and which therefore believes that
the Republican party must go, and must go in
| this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
| Ifyou know THE SUN, you likeit already, and
you will read itwith accustomed diligence and
| profit during what Is sure 10 be the most inter
esting year in its history. Ii you do not ye
know THE SUN, 1t Is high time to get into the
sunshine.

The Philadelphia Times, 1854.

Tho Times will enterupon the new year strong
or and more prosperous than ever before in its
histogy-more widely read and quoted, more
heartily commended, and more fiercely crit-
eized, with more complete organizations and
an ablcr staff Of contributors with the same
independence and fcariessncss that has made it
successful and powerful in the past.
Tho Times has no party to follow, no csndi-
dates to advance, but viii meet every issue as it
has ever done, with consistent devotion to the
right, to honest government and the public wei
fare And, while maintaining its position us the
leading journal of Philadelphia, it will aim to
DC continually in the advance in all that can add
value TO newspaper.
The value Of newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care the CON
ciseness and freshness with which it Is edited
The Times spends layishly for news from all
parts of the world, but oil its dispatches are
carefully edited and condensed, in order to give
the complete news of the day in the most con-
else and attractive shape, and with II a largo
variety OF entertaining and instructive reading.
The best writers at home and abroad are en-
ployed to enrich its columns, and to make 1t a
journal adapted both to the busy man and to
the leisure OF the home circle, q welcome Wis
itor to Intelligent and honest citizens of every
| political, religious, and social taste.
TIE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
| from the weekly newspaper OF twenty years ago
| The day OF those papers is gone by. The tele-
| graph ana better local newspapers everywhere
especially in the thriving centers OF rural pop
ulation, have made the old weekly metropoli.
tan newspaper unsatisfying. Those that cling
to their anciant usages have lost their hold on
| our forward moving people; they are but
| shadows Of their former greatness and they
have but shadow of their former power
| Those papers have had their usefulness but il
is gone, and, with It, they are going too. 1t was
not the fault of the papers; Ii was the improve
ment OF the country that brought about the
| change. Men and woman, wherever they live
now require fresher news; and they require
more than news. "a bowl ,5f-s tvr Ill
