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 cvies in various parts of the country.
At the present rate of premium on gold they pay
over eight per cent. interest in currency, and are OF
equal convenience as permanent or temporary in
vestment.
1t is believed that no securities offer so great in
ducements to lenders the various descriptions of
U. s. Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness,
the faith or ability of private parties or stock com
panies or separate communities only is pledged for
payment, while for the debts of the United States
the whole property of the country is holden to Sc
coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from
$50 up to any magnitude, on the terms, and are
thus made equally available to the smallest lender
and the largest capitalist. They can be converted
into money at any moment and the holder will have
the benefit of the interest.
