The Story of the Sun: New York, 1833-1918
O'Brien, Frank Michael
Sun (New York, N.Y. : 1833)
Notice is hereby given that the _Sun_ newspaper, with its
presses, types, and fixtures, has become the property of an
association represented by the undersigned, and including
among its prominent stockholders Mr. M. S. Beach, recently the
exclusive owner of the whole property. It will henceforth be
published in the building known for the last half-century as
Tammany Hall, on the corner of Nassau and Frankfort Streets.
Its price will remain as heretofore at two cents a copy, or
six dollars per annum to mail subscribers. It will be printed
in handsome style on a folio sheet, as at present; but it will
contain more news and other reading matter than it has hitherto
given.
In changing its proprietorship, the _Sun_ will not in any
respect change its principles or general line of conduct. It
will continue to be an independent newspaper, wearing the
livery of no party, and discussing public questions and the
acts of public men on their merits alone. It will be guided, as
it has been hitherto, by uncompromising loyalty to the Union,
and will resist every attempt to weaken the bonds that unite
the American people into one nation.
The _Sun_ will support General Grant as its candidate for the
Presidency. It will advocate retrenchment and economy in the
public expenditures, and the reduction of the present crushing
burdens of taxation. It will advocate the speedy restoration of
the South, as needful to revive business and secure fair wages
for labor.
The _Sun_ will always have all the news, foreign, domestic,
political, social, literary, scientific, and commercial. It
will use enterprise and money freely to make the best possible
newspaper, as well as the cheapest.
It will study condensation, clearness, point, and will endeavor
to present its daily photograph of the whole world’s doings in
the most luminous and lively manner.
It will not take as long to read the _Sun_ as to read the
London _Times_ or Webster’s Dictionary, but when you have
read it you will know about all that has happened in both
hemispheres. The _Sun_ will also publish a semiweekly edition
at two dollars a year, containing the most interesting articles
from the daily, and also a condensed summary of the news
prepared expressly for this edition.
The _Weekly Sun_ will continue to be issued at one dollar
a year. It will be prepared with great care, and will also
contain all the news in a condensed and readable form. Both
the weekly and semiweekly will have accurate reports of the
general, household, and cattle markets. They will also have an
agricultural department, and will report the proceedings of
the Farmers’ Club. This department will be edited by Andrew
S. Fuller, Esq., whose name will guarantee the quality of his
contributions.
