HOW ARE TIE BONDS PAYABLEs

nVW ana Ale oOA0c XA A0AG'
Frequent inquiry having been made of US
as to the terms of the law of congress, under
which the nou.taxpaying bonds were issued,
we have taken the trouble to look it up, and
we herewith publish an extract from it.
The law is entitled Gan Act to authorize the
Issue of United States Notes, and for the
Redemption or Funding thereof; and for
Funding the Floating Debt of the United
States" and can be found on page 1913 of
Part A, of the Congressional Globe and APP
pendix, I'd Sess, 37th congress, and was ap-
that .-4v-,rrz ~z
THE Secretary of the Treasury is hereby
authorised to issue, on the credit of the United
States, one hundred and fifty millions of dollars
of United States notes, commonly called "green-
| backs'] not bearing interest, payable to bearer,
at the TT asury Of the United States, and Of such
denomination rs he may deem expedient not less
than five dollars each: : and such notes
herein authorised shall be receivable in payment
of all taxes, internal duties, excuses. debts, and
demands of every kind due the United States,
except duties on imports, and of ALL CLAIMS
AND DEMANDS AGAINST THE UNITED
STATES OF EVERY KIND WHATS0EVER,ex-
cept for INTEREST upon bonds and notes, which
| shall be paid in coin, and shall also be lawful
| money and LEGAL TENDER in payment OF
| ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC and private, within the
! United States, except duties on imports and in
| terest aforesaid. And any holder of United
| States notes, depositing any sum not less than
fifty dollars, multiple of fifty dollars, with
the Treasurer of the United States, either of
the Assistant Tressurers, shall receive in ex-
change therefor duplicate certificates of deposit,
one of which may be transmitted to the Secretary
of the Treasury, who shall thereupon issue to the
holder equal amount of BONDS of the United
States, coupon registered, may by said hold
| er be desired bearing interest at the rate of six
per eentum per annum, payable ssmi-annually,
| and redeemable at the pleasure of the United
States after I've years, and payable in twenty
| years from the date thereof"
| Sec. provides for the issue of FIVE hun.
bred millions of said BONDS, coupon or
and also provides that 'all stocks, bonds, and
other securities of the United States held by
individuals, corporations. or associations,
within the United States, shall be exempt
from taxation By or under State authority.
Subsequent acts of congress authorized the
issue of many millions more of these $40
bonds, but always in accordance with the
law from which we have quosed-the Law
first authorizing their issue; and also
authorized the issue of millions more o.
United States notes, of less denomination
than five dollars-even as low as five cents
1t will thus be seen, from the terms of tn,
law quoted, that the interest on the 5-20s il
| payable in coin, but the principal is not.

What we Paw.

The United States Government is the mo-.
expensive in the world. Great Britain with ."
army three times as numerous as our own ana
an immense navy, royal family to take care ' Of
and with many other expenditures of which va
have no counterparts, spends less money for tbs
support of her government than we do. Inter
est on British debts for 1867, $12S,8O7 .27O
Interest on U. 8. debt for 1867, S143,781 ,591
The q. s debt is almost one-half less than
that of Great Britain, yet we paid as interest
$14, 974, 321 more than she did The same wear
Great Britain's civil service expenses were Sal
O9S O95, and our civil service bill, the same wear
was SCI ,110,027 The army expense of England
in 1867 (for $4,000 men) was s74, 3S3, 94G
and the expense of our ''U. S. A" same wear
10000 men paper $50, s41 ,555, or SO, 547,.
600 more than it cost Great Britain for an armv
three times the number of ours. If we adopt
the British plan of classification and place the
expenditures for pensions and bounties in the
items of ssArmy Expenses" the sum is SIG
l60,995, which is 4l,777,0 19 more than
the whole military expenditure of Great Britain
for the year named. Passing other items, the
total cost of the British Government for 1867
was 1886 1903, Alb. Total cost of the United
States Government same year. S346,729125.
The United States Government, which should be
much the cheaper, was 81 ,426,7O6 the dearer.
