These Bonds are issued under the Act of Con gress
Of March sth. 1854. which provides that all Bonds
tssued under this Act shall be EXEMPT FROM

nees
Subscribers to this loan will have the option of
having their Bonds draw interest from March lst,
- paying the accrued interest in coin-tor in Uni
ted States notes or the notes of National Banks,
adding tfty per cent. for premium, receive
them drawing interest from the date of subscrip-
tion and deposit. As these Bonds are
EXEMPT FROM MUNICIPAL OR STATE

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.
At the present rate of premium gold they pay
OVER EIGHT PER CENT. INTEREST

Danent or temporary investment.
I; is believed that no securities offer so grea.
tons of Q. s. Bonds In sll other forms of in
iehted ness, the faith ability of private parties
ct stock companies or separate communities only
Is peige for payment, while for the debts of the
United States the wkc,errs perty of the country
is holden 90 secure the payment of both principal
md interest in coin.
These Bonds may besubsc1 bed for in sums from
30 mp to any magnitude, OF the same terms, and
are tins made equally avas able to the smallest
lender and the largest capitalist. They can be
converted into money at any moment, and the
holder win have the benefit of the interest.
1t may be useful TO state in this connection that
the total Funded Debt of the United States
which interest is payable in gold, the Sd day of
March, 1854, s76S 965.OOO. The interest on this
debt for the coming fiscal year will be $500 l26
while the customs revenue in gold for the current
Gscal year, ending June goth, 1874. has been far
at the rate of over SlOO 900 900 per snnum.
It will be seen that even the present gold reve.
nues of the Government are largely in excess of
the wants of the Treasury for the payment of gold
Interest, while the recent increase of the tariff
will doubtless raise the annual receipts from Gus
tams on the same amount of importations. to
$4,000 .OO0 per annum.
Instructions TO the National Banks acting az
loan agents were not issued until March rs, but
the amount of Bonds reported sold at the e. s.

x44, 100.
