Eise Secretary 0f :Esn 'z'Tca-sscy
has not yet given notice Of any intention to
withdraw this popular Loan from Sal at
Par, and until ten days notice is given. the
undersigned, as ''Ssctser;ss AsaIsAesss,-
ss0sa Agease,' viii continue to supply
the public.
The whole amount of the Loan authorized
is Five Hundred Millions of Dollars Neisr-

within the last seven months. The large
demand from abroad, and the rapidly in
creaslug home demand for use as the basis
for circulation by National Blnking Aszo-
Citations now organizing in all parts of the
country, will, in very short period, absorb
the balance. Sales have lately ranged from
ten to fifteen millions weekly, frequently
exceeding three millions daily, and as It Is
we'll known that the Secretary of the Trea-
sury has ample and uniaiIing resources in
the Duties on Imports and Internal Reve-
nues, and in the issue of the Interest bear
ing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is al
most a certainty that he viii not find it net
cessary, for long time to come, to seek a
market for any other long or permanen-
loans. THE INTEREST AND PRINCI-

Prudence and self interest must force the
minds of those contemplating the formation
of National Banking Associations, as well
as the minds OF all who have the idle money
on their hands, to the prompt conclusion that
they should lose no time IN subscribing to
this most popular Loan. 1t viii soon be be-
yond their reach, and advance to a hand
some premium, as was'tbe result with the
"Seven Thirty" Loan, when it was all sold
and could no longer be subscribed fer at
par.

The Government requires all duties on
imports to be paid in Com; these duties have
for long time past amounted to ovar a
Quarter of Million of Dollars daily, sum
nearly three times greater than that re-
quired in the payment Of the interest On all
the 5-20's and other permanent Loans. So
that it is hoped that the surplus Coin in the
Treasury, at no distant day, VIII enable the
United States to resume specie payments up
on all liabilities.
The Loan is called $50 from the fact
that whilst the Bonds may run for 20 years
yet the Government has right to pay them
off in Gold at par, at any time after D years.

May.
Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds,
which are payable to bearer, and are $50,
Sl00, $500, and $1,000; or registered Bonds
of same denominations. and in addition. So
900. and $4,000 For banking purposes
and for investments Of Trust-monies the
Registered Bonds are preferable.
These 5-20s cannot be taxed by States,
cities, towns or counties, and the Govern
ment tax on them is only one-and-a-half per
cent, on the amount OF income, when the
income of the holder exceeds Six Hundred
dollars per annum; all other investments,
such as income from Mortgages, Railroad
Stock and Bonds, ETC., must pay from three
to five per cent tax on the income.
Banks and Bankers throughout the Coun-
try will continue to dispose Of the Bonds !;
and all orders by mail, or otherwise, prompt
ly attended to-
The inconvenience Oft few days delay
in the delivery of the Bonds is unavoidable,
the demand being so great; but as interest
commences from the day of subscription. no
less is occasioned, and every effort is being
made to diminish the delay.
