II Is believed that no securities offer SO
great inducements 10 lenders as the various
descriptions Of U s. Bonds. In all other

is holden 10 secure the psym oil both
principal and interest III coin.
These Bonds NAV be subscribed for in
sums from $50 up 10 any magnitude, on
the sane terms, and are thus IN ade equally
available 10 The smallest lender and the
largest ca?i'elist They can be converted
into money al any moment, and the holder
will h ave The benefit of the interest.
II may be usefbl TO stale IN this conDec-
ton that me total Funded Debt Of the
United States on which interest is payable
In gold, on the 81 day OF March, 1854, was
S76s PCS, 900. The interest on thls debt
for the coming fiscal year i'll be s. 5,937,-
1876, while the customs revenue in gold
tof the Current fiscal year. ending June
3Oih, 1864, has been 30 far al the rate OF
over 500, 900 coo per annum.
twill be seen that even the present
gold revenues of the Government are large
" in excess of the wants oil the treasury
for The payment OF gold interest, while the
recent increase of the lafif Will doubtless
raise the annual receipts from customs on
The same amouu; bi impotiations, 10 $780,
00b 900 per anDum.
Instructions TO the National Banks act
ing as loan aeeDts were not issued from
