THE SUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOB 1875.
The approach of the Presidential election gives
unusual importance to the events and develop
ments of 1875. We shall endeavor to describe
them fully, faithfully aud fearlessly.
THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained a circula
tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers
are found iu every State and Territory, and its
quality is well known to the public. We shall
uot only endeavor to keep it fully up to tho old
standard, but to improve aud add to its variety
and power,
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be a thor
ough newspaper. All the news of tho day will be
found In it, condensed when unimportant, at
full length when of moment, and always, we
trust, treated iu a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the best
family newspaper in the world. It will bo full ol
entertaining and appropriate reading of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the most
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always
contain the most interesting stories and ro
mances of the day, carefully selected and legibly
printed.
The Agricultural Department is a prominent
feature in tho Weekly Bun, and its articles Will
always be found fresh and useful to the farmer.
The number of men independent in politics is
increasing, and tho Weekly Sun is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, and lor the
election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces tho country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It lias no
fear of knaves, and seeks no fkvors from their
supporters.
The markets of every kind and tho fashions
are regularly reported.
The price ef the WEEKLY SUN is one dollar a
year, for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col
umns. Ah this barely pays the expenses of paper
and printing, we are not able to make any dis
count or allow any premium to friends who may
make special efforts to extend its circulation.
Under the new law, which requires payment of
postage iu advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
ceuta tho cost of prepaid postage added, iff the
rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get
up a club in order to have tho Weekly Sun at this
rats. Any one who sends one dollar and twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year.
We have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY SUN—Eight pages, 56 columns.
Only $1.20 a year, postage prepaid. No discount
from this rate.
THE DAILY HUN—A largo four-page newspaper
•of twenty-eight columns. Daily circulation over
120,000. Ail the news for 2 cent*. Subscription,
postage prepaid, 55 cents a month, or $6.50 a
year. To clubs of 10 or over, a discount of 20
percent. Address
