NEXTLIBERTY LOAN
By HOLLAND

New York, June 25.-(Special.) )-Al-
 though the clerical work connected with
 the alloting and placing of the 5000, 000,-
 900 liberty loan Is so great in some of
 the institutions through which subscrip-
 tions passed. 1t is estimated that the
 clerks will be compelled to handle from 25000 to 50000 separate pieces, neverthe- less, 1t is the understanding here that the Secretary of the Treasury, MT. McAdoo
 being relieved of this responsibility, now has time to consider the next offering of a loan to the American people
 A question frequently asked, or 8 thought often suggested, is this: In view of the fact that the liberty loan was oyersubscribed by nearly 50 per cent will not Secretary McAdoo feel justified in fixing the interest rate upon the new loan at 315 per cent. Nevertheless, the opinion commonly prevails that he may find it eXpedient, especially for one req son, to fix rate upon the new loan at per cent. This special reason is based on the fact that hundreds of thousands oi popular subscriptions were received from the people in amounts of 5000 or less, because these subscribers were per- suaded that the bonds would in a short time bear higher rate of interest. Sec retary McAdoo did intimate when making the offering that in case a higher rate was fixed upon for the second and the third offerings, the liberty loan bonds could be exchanged for the bonds which bore the higher rate of interest. There fore, it is deemed probable that many thousands would be grievously disap- pointed, perhaps irritated, were the Sec retary to fix the rate upon the new loan at 315 per cent. That Is a question upon which he will undoubtedly take advice it, or, in other words, from those who will assist him in placing the new loan.
 The United States has always paid it's bonded debt at par at a premium. One of the best examples of this policy was that which was adopted by the govern ment soon after the war with Mexico The treasury department then deemed it the best policy, to buy up it's bonds some of them had been sold at a discount Therefore, the government ertered the open market and bought the bonds at the current rate of premium. In fact, the government bought in the early part of the administration of President Pierce bonds which did not fall due until 1867, although these commanded N per cent premium. In the first year of the of President Buchanan, the treasury department had paid $S,000,- 900 in premiums when buying $53, GOO of debts

SURE TO BE AT A PREMIUM

Whatever the market rate may be for per cent bonds, should that be the rate fixed by Secretary McAdoo for the new loan, and consequently for the pres ent loan at 31a per cent, it is regarded as certain that if the precedents are fol- lowed, these per cent bonds, after the close of the war, and the inevitable tri- umph of the allies, of which President Wilson has recently given assurance, will command a good premium.
 In 1887 large issue of refunding bonds, which bore 4 per cent interest, commanded a premium so that the bonds stood at about 130 At this rate, and with 20 years still to run, the bonds netted the investor only 2A per annum. Yet they were a favorite investment. One

bank in New York city purchased and sold in 1879 approximately S7S0,0OO,000 of government bonds, the principal part of which were per cent.
 A curious illustration of the temper of the American people and especially of investors toward government bonds is furnished by the experience with the Az per cent bonds Although there was no great difficulty in marketing this issue, nevertheless these bonds were never really popular. They did not command the popularity which was the good for tune of the per cent bonds In 1887 the Az per cent bonds, which had little over four years to run, commanded approXl- mately no, and the net yield to the purchaser was 214 per cent.
 EASY TO COMPUTE INTEREST
 Purchasers of 31a per cent bonds can compute the interest without taking pencil and pad, for at 312 per cent the bonds yield S350 year for each bond of $100. A good many years ago the government issued at one time so-called notes which were really bonds, which bore interest at the rate Of 2-3 per cent. That would seem to be a difficult rate upon which to base computation or the yearly income upon $l00 note. But there was method in the fixing of these figures, for the treasury authorities or that date Git was at the time Of our sec ond war with Great Britaim figured that at the rate of 2-5 per cent the interest upon $100 would be 116 cents day. Sec retary McAdoo, who has been care1ul student of the financing carried on by the United States government, for many years must have thought that this prece- dent furnished the example which seo Congress to authorize the issue of a large block of bonds, which we called seven-thirties. This issue Was very pop ular. The figures meant that the bond bore z per cent interest and was to be redeemed in 30 years. Seven per cent meant ? cents a day on each $lOo, so that the man who was fortunate enough to possess a $10O seven-thirty bond, knew that it was earning for him cents each day.
