posit.
As these Bonds are exempt from municipal or
State taxation, 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 on gold they pay
over eight per cent interest in currency and are Of
equal convenience as a permanent or temporary in
vestment.
1t is believed that no securities offer so great in
ducements to lenders as the various descriptions Of
U. s. Bonds. In all other forms of Indebtedness,
panes or separate communities only is pledged for
payment, while for the debts of the United States
the whole property of the country is holden to
cure the payment of both cipal 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 available to the smallest lender
and the largest capitalist. They can be converted
into money at any moment. and the holder will have
the benefit of the interest.
The fact that all duties on imports are payable in
specie furnishes fund for like payment Of interest
on all Government Bonds largely in excess Of the
wants of the treasury for this purpose.
Upon the receipt Of subscriptions certificate of
deposit therefor, in duplicate, will be issued the
original of which will be forwarded by the subscr-
ber to the Secretary of the Treasury, at Washing
ton with letter stating the kind Registered or cou
PAM and the denominations of Bonds required.
Upon the receipt of the original certificates at tho
Treasury Department, the bonds subscribed for will
be transmitted to the subscribers respectively.
Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer OF
tie United States at Washington, and the Assistant
Hedsurers at New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
and by the First National Bank of Columbus, o.,
and by all National Banks which are depositaries Of
public money. All respectable banks and bankers
throughout the country will furnish further infor
nation on application, and afford every facility to
subscribers. may2-d&wow
