there value is increased from one to three per cent
per annum, according to the rate Of tax lsves In
rous parts of the country.
AT the present rate Of premium on gold they psy
OVER EIGHT PER CENT INTEREST
IN currency, and are of equal convenience per.
manent or temporary investment
1t lie believed that securities offer great in
ducsmens to lenders as the various descriptions Of
[. s Bonds In oil other forms of indebtedness the
faith or ability Of private parties or stock companies
only is pledged for payment while for the debts of
the United States the whole property Of the coun-
ty is holden secure the payment of both principal
and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from
S30up TO any magitudc, on the same terms, and are
thds made equally available to tho smallest lender
and the largest capitalist. They can be converted
Into money at any amount, and the holder will have
the benefit Of the interest.
Ii may be usefu. to state IN this connection tha
the total Funded Debt of the United States on which
interest is payable in gold, on the Sd day of March
1894, was SI65,965,0O0 The interest on this debt
for the coming fiscal year will be s45 937 1926 while
The customs revenue in gold for the current fsca
year. ending June 3Olh 1864, has been so far at the
rate OF over 800 100000 per annum
It will be seen that the present gold revenues
Of the Government are largely in excess of the want
Of tho Treasury for the payment of gold interest
while the recent increase Of the tariff will doubles
rsise the annual receipts from customs the SAINT
amount of importations to $3.50 900 600 per snnum
