fer TO do so--the Law gives you the
right to demand from the Govern
ment, ut that time, either your money
or on equal amount at par. of the fa-
nous popular 500 Gold Bearing 9
per cent. Loan.
q. How much doyou consider this
privilege of conversion, into 52O
Loan TO he worthp
A. 5-20s bearing Gold Interest
from 1st of November, arc to-day
worth Q per cent. premium. Ifthcy
| are worth no more ut the end OF the
two years and hnlf, when you have
right to them, than they now are
this premium added to the interest
you receive, will give you at least 1C
per cent. per annum for your money
but the opinion is that they will be
worth more than 9 per cent. premium
at that time.
Q. What other advantage is there
in investing in the 1-30 LoanG
A. 1t cannot be taxed by States
Counties, or Cities, and this adds
from one to three per cent. per annum
to the net income of the holder, nc.
cording to the rate of taxation in va
rious localities. All bonds and stocks
except those of the United States, and
oil mortgages, &c, are taxed, not only
by the Government but by States,
Counties and Cities.
o. How does the Government raise
the money TO pay the. interest, and is
it safe and sure
A. The Government collects, by
taxes, internal revenue, and duties on
imports, fully three hundred milliors
each year. This is nearly three times
as much as is needed to pay the inter-
est on all the debt, and as soon as the
war is ended, the amount not needed
to pay the interest will be used in pay
ing off the debt. Our Government
has twice paid Off 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 invest
ment in the world 1t is rs safe rs a
mortgage on n good farm, and pays q
better interest. it Is, In fact, First
Mortgage on all lands, all incomes,
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 o. princi-
pal and interest. How foolish those
people are, who keep their gold and
grccnbacks idle and locked up, or
purchase mortgages or railroad stocks
and bonds, which pay only . or 9 per
cent. interest, when the Seven.Thir-
ties pay counting the premium on
Five Twenties, over ten per cent,
and are so much safer and surer.
@ How many Scven-Thirties are
there, and how much remains unsold?
A. There are about three hundred
and twenty five millions authorized
by law, and only about one hundred
and ninety millions remain unsold.
Q. How long will it take you to sell
the balancei
A. There are about 500 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 he engaged in all parts OF
the country in disposing of thcm to
the people.
@ How long will it take to sell the
whole
A. In less than three months they
will be all sold, and will no doubt then
sell at q premium, as was the ease
with the old Seven Thirties,. the first
Twenty Year Loan, and the Five
Twenties.
The above questions and answers
it is believed, will give full iniorma
tion to all II not, the General Sub
scription Agent, or any OF the Banks
or Bankers employed to sell the Loan
will be glad to answer all questions
and to furnish the even-Thirties in
small or large sums { as the notes are
issued in denominations of $50, 500
$500, $1,000 and S5,000) and to rem
der it easy for all to subscribe-thus
fulfilling the instructions of Mr.
Fressenden, who earnestly desires
that the people of the whole land, Gas
well as the capitalists,) shall have
every opportunity afforded them OF
obtaining n portion OF this most de.
sirable investment.
