premium. If they are worth no more at the

have right to Them than they no,c are, this
premium added to the interest you receive,
will give you at least 10 per cent per annum
for your ihoney-but the opinion is that thcv

at that time
7h Question: What other advantage is
there in investing in the 7-30 Loan?
-1nS,cer 1t cannot be taxed bv States,
Counties, or Cities, and this adds from one to
three per cent per annum to the net income
of the holder, according to the rate of taxation
in various localities. All bonds and stocks,
except those. of the United States, and all
mortgages, &c, are taxed, not only by the
Government, but by States, Counties, and
Cities.
Sh Question. How does the Government
raise the money to pay the interest, and is it
safe and sure?
Ansper. The Government collects, by
taxes, internal revenue, and duties on imports,
fully three hundred millions each year. This
is nearly three times as much as is needed to
pay the interest on all the debt, and as soon
as the war is ended the amount not needed
to pay the interest will be used in paying off

Eof all its debt, and can easily do so again.
The interest is sure to be paid promptly, and
the debt itself is the very safest investment in
the world 1t is as safe as mortgage on
good farm, and pays a better interest tits,
in fact, a FIRST Mortgage on all lands, all in
comes, all railroad and canal bonds, and bank
or other stocks, mortgages, &c.
Nothing can be safer, for we are all bound
for it, and all that we have is firmly held for
the payment of principal and interest. How
foolish these people are, who keep their gold
and greenbacks idle and locked up, or pur-
chase mortgages or railroad stocks and bonds,
which pay only 5 or 6 per cent interest when
these Soven-Thirties pay Counting the pre-
MUM on Five-Twenties,) over ten per cent,
and are so much safer and surer
9th Question. How many Seven-Thirties
are there, and how much remains unsold
Ans,cer. There are only about three hum
dred and twenty-five millions authorized by
law and only about one hundred and ninety
millions remain unsold. ~
10Th Question: How long will it take you
to sell the balance? .Nr
AnsWer. There are about 800 National
Banks all engaged in selling them also =
large number of the old banks, and at least
three thousand private bankers and brokers,
and special agents will be engaged in all parts
of the country in disposing of them to the
people.
11M Question. How long will it take to
sell the whole?
Ans,cer. In less than three months they
will be all sold, and will no doubt then sell at
premium, as was the case with the old Sew
en-Thirties, the first Twenty Year Loan, and
the Five Twenties
