NEW YORK, 1884. 
About sixty million copies of The Son have gone out of our establishment during tlie past twelve months. 
Ifyouwere'to paste end to end all the columns of all The Sons printed-apd sold last year, you would getacontin- 
uou.s.strip"of interesting information, common-sense wisdom, sound doctrine and sane wit long enough to reach from 
Trinting House Square to the top of Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to Printing House Square, and three- 
quarters of the way back to the moon again 
But The Son is written for the inhat 
twenty-seven or twenty-eight times. 
fiabitants of the eartli; this same strip of intelligence would girdle the globe 
itv-seven or twenty-eight times. 
It every buver of a copv' of The Son during the past year has spent only one hour over it. and if ids wife or his 
grandfather has spent another liour, this newspaper in 1883 lias afi'orded the human race thirteen thousand years of 
steady reading, night and day. 
It 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 American men and women. 
The Son is, and will continue to be, a newspaper whicli tells the truth without fear of consequences, which gets 
at the facts, no matter how much tlie process costs, which presents tlie news of all tlie world without waste of words 
and in tlie most readable shape, which is working with all its lieart for the cause ot honest government, and which 
tlierefore believes that the Republican Party must go, and must go in this coming year of our Lord, 188L 
If you know The Sun, you like it already, and y'ou will read it with accustomed diligence and profit during what 
is sure to be tlie most interesting year in its history. If you do not yet know The Sun, it is high time to get into tlie 
sunshine.
