Having thus given the statement of six
per cent bonds, he then proceeds:
All the bonds which l have thus far consid
cred bear six per cent. interest. During the
years, however, of 1864, 1865, 1866. 1867
and 1868, there were issued five per cent
bonds amounting in all to the sum of $685.
1879, $50, which, at the various estimates al
ready made of the price of gold, cost the pur-
chasers the sum of 1922, ,957 ,410. The bonus
to the bondholders growing out of the sale OF
these bonds amounts to $72, 1872, 40, The in
terest thus far received on this fictitious $72,
100000 and upward is Sl1 ,679, ,296. That
which remains to be received in the future,
on the same fraudulent basis, will reach
S132, ,6S4,9 ,95S. The transactions of these five
years in five per cent. bonds may be stated in
a condensed form thus:
