TO SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS.

From and after Monday, July ii, 1864,
we shall charge for THE DAILY OHIO
STATESMAN, and for The TRI-WEEKLY
STATESMAN, the prices below specified. We
have not before made any material advance
in our subscription rates. Within two
years. the cost of publishing daily news
paper in Columbus has increased nearly
one hundred per cent. The price of white
paper has advanced to twenty cents per
pound, and is still going up-being more
than double what it used to sell for; the
price of type-setting is more than fifty per
cent. higher than it was; press-work is one
hundred per cent. higher; rents and fuel
have doubled, and every other item which
enters into the cost of publication has ad-
vanced in like proportion. To meet these
increased expenses, we raised the price OF
advertising as much as practicable but the
| late sudden advance in the cost Of white pa
per leaves no alternative but an advance OF
subscription rates.
1t will be seen that the new scale prices
is an increase of but twenty-five per cent.
on the old rates, while the cost of publica-
tion and of living has increased nearly four
times that amount. We purpose to return
to the old standard of rates, whenever the
price OF sprint and labor shall fall enough
to render it possible. We believe that no
fair-minded reader will object to the new
rates, nor consider them more than right
and necessary under the circumstances

ITS EXEMPTION FROM STATE OR
MUNICIPAL TAXATION.

But aside from all the advantages we have
enumerated, SPECIAL Act of Congress exempts
all bonds ami Treasury notes from local taza-
tion. On the average, this exemptionis worth
about two per cent. per annum, according to
T the rate of taxation in various parts of the
country.
1t is believed that no securities offer SO
great inducements to lenders as those issued
by the government. In all other forms OF
Indebtedness, the faith or ability of private
parties, or stock companies, or separate com
munities, only, is pledged for pay yment, while
the whole property of the country is held to
secure the discharge of all the obligations Of
the United States.
While the government offers the most lib
eral terms for it's loans, it believes that the
very strongest appeal will be to the loyalty
and patriotism of the people.
Dnplicats certificates will be issued tor all
deposits, the party depositing must endorse
upon the ORIGINAL certificate the. denomina
tion of notes required and whether they are to
be issued in blank or payable to order,
When so endorsed it must be left with the
officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to
the Treasury Department. ~
SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BE RECEIVED by the
Treasurer of the United States, at Washing
ton, the several Assistant Treasurers and de-
signated Depositaries, and by the
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
BRIDGEPORT, ONO.
And by all National Banks which are deposi-
lries of public money. and

In addition to the very liberal interest on
