in currency and are of equal convenience as
q permanent or temporary investment.
1t is believed that no securities ofor SO
great inducements to lenders as the various
descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other
forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of
private parties or stock companies or separate
communities only is pledged for payment,
while for the debts of the United States tho
country is holden to secure the payment of
both principal and interestin coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in SUMO
from $50 up to any magnitude, on the same
terms, and are thus made equally available to
the ,.smailes st lender and the largest capitalist.
They can be converted into money at any mo-
ment, and the holder will have the benefit of
the interest.
1t may be useful 70 state in this connection
that the total Funded Debt of the Unite1
on which interest is payable in Gold, on tho
Sd day of March, 1854, was $76S, 965, 000.-
The interest on this debt for the comingriscal
year will be S45, 9S7 ,126, while the customs
revenue in gold for the current fiscal year,
ending June 30th. 1864, has been so far at
the rate of over $1,000 900, 900 per annum.
1t will be seen that even the present gold
revenues of the Government are largelyih ex-
cess of the wants of the Treasury for the pay
ment of gold interest, while the recent in
crease of the tariff will doubtless raise the an
nual receipts from customs on the same amount
of imporsaiions, to $3.50, DOC, 900 per annum.
Instructions to the National Banks acting
as loan agents were not issued from the Uni
ted States Treasury until March 26, but in
the first three weeks of April the subscriptions
averaged more than TEN MILLIONS a week.
Subscriptions will be received by the
First National Bank of Cleveland, o.
Second National Bank of Cleveland, q
and by all
Rational BG7lkS
which are depositaries of Public money, and
all
Respectable Banks and Bankers
throughought the country. (acting as agents
of the National Depository Banks,) will furn-
ish further inftrmation on application and
Afford every Facility to Subscribers.

"HESE Bonds are issued I'm der the Act of
Congress of March 9th, 1864, which pro-
vides that all bonds issued under this Act shall
be EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by or under
any state or municipal authority. Subscrip-
tons to these Bonds are received in United
States notes or notes of National Banks. They
are TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, Mt the
pleasure of the Government, at any perioanot
ess than ten nor more than forty gears from
their date, and until their redemption FIVE
PER CENT. INTEREST. WILL BE PAID III
COIN, on Bonds of not over one hunred dol
lars annually and on all other Bonds semi
annually. The interest is payable on the first
days of March and September in each year.
Subscribers will receive either Registered
or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Reg
istered Bonds are recorded on the books of
the U :. S. Treasurer, and can be transferred
only on the owners order. Coupon Bonds
are payable to bearer, and are more eonve-
nient for commercial uses.
Subscribers to--this loan will have the OPP
ton of having their Bonds draw interest from
March LIST, by paying the accrued interest in
coin-(or in United States notes, or the notes
of National Banks, adding fifty per cent. for
premium,) or receive them drawing interest
from date of subscription and deposit. As
these Bonds are
Exempt from Municipal or State
Taxation,
their value is increased from one to three per
cent. per annum, according to the rate of tax
~levies in various parts of the country.
