Taxation,
their value is increased from one to three
per cent. per anuum, according to the tax lev

Over Eight Per Cent. Interest

It's believed that no securities offer SO great
inducements to lenders as the various descrip-
tons of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of
indebtedness, the faith or ability of private
parties or stock companies or separate com
munitics only is pledged for payment, while
for the debts of the United States the whole
property of the country is holden to secure
the payment of beth principal and interest in
coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in
sums from $50 up to any magnitude on the
same TERMS and are thus made equally avail
able to the smallest lender and the largest
capitalist. They can be converted int
money at any moment, and the holder will
have the benefit of the interest.
1t may be useful to state in this connection
that the total Funded Debt of the U. States
on which interest is payable in gold, on the
Sd day of March, 1864, was s76S, ,9e5, 900.
The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal
year will be s45,937, ,l2e, while the customs
revenue in gold for the current fiscal year.
ending June SOth 1854, has been 50 far at the
rate of over 500, ,ooO,oo per annum.
