TIE NATIONAL LoAH,
There are in Chicago two Thousand per-
saus who csn with positive profit, aud, OF
course, without Inconvenience, take each
more OF less stock in the National 1oan- It
is tAe part Of patriotism to assist the Gov
o7nnent IN this crisis- The interest offered
Is if not equal to Chicago rates, the high

that are unquestionably good and instantly
convcrtible, snd the payment of the prin-
eiral depends only On the continued exist
cree of the Government in any form, and
when that ceascs, a]l values nre destroyed
Assuming, then, that the rate Of interest,
$40 per cent, is satisfactory, and that
tic principal is secure, we know Of no rea-
