Seattle daily post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, W.T. [Wash.]) 1881-1888, 1889-12-09
TINE Sun.


More people have read The Sun dur
ing the year just now passing than ever
before since it was first printed. No
other newspaper printed on this side of
the earth has been bought and read in
any year by SO many cnen and women.
We are credibly informed that people
buy, read and like The Sun for the fol-
lowing reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in
attractive form and with the greatest
possible accuracy whatever has interest
for human kind; tina events, tho deeds
and misdeeds, the wisdom. the philoso-
ply, the notable folly, the solid sense.
the improving nonsense-all the news
of the busiest world at present revolv-
ing in space.
Because people have learned that In
its remarks concerning persons and af-
fairs The Sun makes a practice of tell
ing them the exact truth to the best of
its ability three hundred and sixty five
days in the year, before election AZ well
a. after, about the whales as well as
about the small fish, in the place of dis
sent as 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 everv body's newspaper.
No man is 81 humble that The Sun is in
different to his welfare and his rights.
No man is 80 rich that it can allow in
Justice to be done him. No man, no as
ISOLATION 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 news
papers, the fight that has resulted in the
recent overwhelming popular verdict
against Robesonism and for honest gov
eminent. No matter 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 the
bosses, the encroachment Of the mo-
nopolists, and the dishonest schenes OF
public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost
daily by our friends. Ohe man holds
that The Sun is the best religious news
paper ever published, because its Chris
fiHnity is undilutsd with cant. Another
holds that It is the best Republican
newspaper printed, because it has al
ready whipped half of the rascals out
Of that party, and is proceeding against
the other half with undiminished vigOr.
A third believes it to be the best maya
zine of general literature in existence,
because il 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 APP
peals with particular force to his indi-
vidunl liking.
II You already know The Sun, you will
observe that in 1858 il is little better
than ever before. II you do not already
know TIE Sam, you will find 1t to be q
mirror Of all human activity, q store
house Of the choicest products OF COM
mon sense and Imagination. q mainstay
for the cause Of honest government, a
sentinel for genuine Je6ersonian De-
mocfacy, a scOurge for Wickedneas OF
every species, and An uncommonly good
investment for the coming year.
