THE SEVEN THlRTIEs-wBAT ARE THEY ,

We trust that large portion Of our read
ers have p0ndered the Appeal Of Mr.. Fes-en-
den, our new Secretary of the Treasury. The
purport of it is that The People Of The United
States, acting as body through their agent
The Government, wish individuals to lend them
two hundred millions of dollars for three years
at seven aud lhree-tenrhs per cent. annual in-
terest, payable every six months For this
they off-r Treasury Notes-that is, in reality
mites drawn and endorsed by every man 10 the
country. The loan is wanted for great ma
tional purpose. to { ff.ct which every man. I'M
less he be traitor at heart if not in act, Is
solemuly pledged.
The APPEAL is addressed not merely to
few great capitalists, but also to the many
whose aggregate means constitute the mass of
the wealth of the land. The notes upon which
this loan is asked are from $50 upward Eve
ry man who has fifty dollars can take part in
this loan. Apart from patriotism and the du-
~ which all owe to their country, no invest
nnent is SO desirebe as this
Ii is secure. Every dollar of every mans
property is pledged for the puuctual payment
of the interest. and of the debt when due
The security is increasing in value. For some
millions year more than we spent. During
the three years of the war, owing to the high
prices and constant demand for labor we have
earned more than ever before. No man who
could or would work has been idle and ex
cept for the war, we have spent less than be-
fore. The total valuation of the property OF
the United States, according 10 the census OF
1860, was SIG, ,I59, 900 900, of which $40 957,
448, $50 was in the loyal States. This ilua
lion according to the usual rule of assessment,
was not more than tw0-thirds of the actual
Cash value Of the property. The increase OF
properly 10 the loyal states during the last ten
years was over l26 per cent. an average Of
IL Clio per cent. per annum. In three years
of the war we of the United States have GER |
tainly earned 5000 millions more than we have
spent apart from the war. The cost OF the
war may be set down at 1000 millions. De-
duclng this nom our net earnings, the people
who are security for this loan are 1000 mil
lions richer to-day than they were when the
war broke out.
No other investment can be so easily con-
ver'ble. The nIan who has Treasury note
for $50, or $ION, or $1,000, can turn it intu
money more readily, aud upon better terms

ration of each successive half year. The mold
er of the note has simply to cut of one Ot these
coupons, present it at the nearest bank or
Government Agency, and receive his interest
the note itself need not be presented at all
Or a coupon thus payable will every where be
equivalent, when due, TO money.
Tins, while this loan presents great advan'-
ages to large capitalists, it Oif-rs special In-
ducements to those who wish 10 make a safe
and profitable investment Of small savings. 1t
is in every way the best Savings Bank for
every institution of this kind must somehow
invest it's Deposits probably in order to pay
interest and expenses. They will invest large
Iy in this loan, as the best investment. But
from the gross interest which they receive
they must deduct largely for the expenses OF
the Bank Their usual rate of interest allow
ed to dspositors is per cent. upon sums over
$500. The person who invests directly with
the Government will receive almo't 30 per
cent. more. Thus the man who deposits $1,000
in priva e Savings Bank receives 80 dollars
a year interest if he deposits the same sum
in this National Savings Bank he receives I3
dollars. For those who wi,h 10 find eaIe,
convenient, and prof able means of investing
their surplus earnings which they have reSeIv-
I'd for lhtir old age or for the benefit Oi their
children, there is nothing that presents So ma
ny advantages as this National Loan.
Ii Is convertible into a six per cent. gold
bearing bond. At the expiration of three
years holder OF the notes of the 7-30 loan
has the option of accepting payment in full or
oF iundiutg his nOfPs in a six DPr cent gold in
trrest bond, he principle payable in not less
than five nor more than twenty years from
date as The Government may elect. For six
months past these bonds have ranged at an
average prem'um of about eight per cent. in
the New York Market, and have sold at lO9
to- day (Aug. I2tb) thus making the real rate
of interest over ten per cent and besides, to
make the inducement even greater, Congress
by special act exempts its Treasury notes from
State and municipal ;axaiion. Could Shylock
ask more? Was patriotism ever so liberally
rewarded ? -Harper's Magazine.

ALL IN THE SANE BoAT.-Tae following re-
marks of Mr.. MCDONALD. the Democratic
candidate fer Governor of Indiana, in al recent
debate with Gov. MORTON, should receive seri
Gus consideration at this time, when the faIe
of the country seems shaking in the balance,
and issues the most momanlous are to bezde-
cided at the ballot box. Whatever our Lafty
differences may be we cannot ignore the fact
that we are all passengers in the same boat,
and if she goes down we all sink together
Said Mr.. Mcdonald:
whatever political differences there may
be, we are all equal interested in our country.
Ii the Union is broken up we must all sulf r.
If the Democratic or Union policy should
overthrow the Government, let no one be 50
short-sighted as to suppose that one party
would sufftr while the other escaped; or that
one would suffer more than the oiher. A
mere party triumph is Of liltle consequence if
the Government is lost. All our interests, prI-
vate and public, are wrapped up in the inter
esls of the nation, aud if the latter is destroy
ed all is lost.''

THE EVENING NEWS.
BETTER THAN GOLD.

BETTER than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles thousand fold,
Is healthy body, mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
heart that can feel for q neighbor's woe,
And share bis joys with genial glow;
With sympathies large enough to enfold
An men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an humble sphere,
Doubly blest with content and health,
ITntried by the lust and cares Of wealth,
Lowly living aud lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble poor mans cot,
For mind and morals, on Natures plan,
Are the genuine tests Of q gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons Of toll when their labors close;
Better than gold Is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that falls on his sumbers deep,
Bring sleeping draughts to the downy bed
Where Luxury pillows her aching head;
Her simpler opiate Labor deems
A shorter road to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is thinking mind,
That In the realm Of books can find
treasure surprising Australian ore
And live with the good and great of yore
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empires passed away;
The worlds great drama viii thus unfold
And yield pleasure better than gold
Better than gold ID a peaceful home,
Where all the firsside charities come,
The shrine Of love, the heaven Of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wifV.
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold,
That centre there are better than gold.
