SPANISH WAR BONDS
How U. S. Sold Bonds in War of 20
Years Ago.


History repeats itself sometimes
The following is from an article in
The Banner, dated June 81, 1898,
when the war with Spain was in pro
gress. Jesse Conan came across this
old copy OF Tie Banner few days
ago and was struck by the similarity
to the recent Liberty bond campaign:
The following circular has been is
sued from the Office OF the secretary
OF the treasury at Washington.
The Secretary of the Treasury in
vites subscriptions from the people of
the United States for $200,000,000 OF
the bonds of the per cent loan auth.
orized by the act of Congress- to pro-
vide ways and means to meet war ex-
penditures. Subscriptions will be re.
ceived at par for period of thirty
two days. the subscription being open
from this date to o'clock D. IN. on
the l4th day of July, 1898. The bonds
vii be issued in both coupon and reg
1stered form, the coupon bonds in de-
nominations of $40, 800, $500, and
$1,000, and the registered bonds in de
nominations of $40, $500, $500, 81 900.
$4,000 and $4,000. They will be
dated August l, 1898, and, by their
terms, will be redeemable in coin at
the pleasure of the United States af-
ter ten years from the date of their
issue, and due and payable August l,
1918.
The bonds will bear interest at the
rate of 3 per cent per annum, payable
quarterly; the interest on the coupon
bonds will be paid by means of cou-
pons, to be detached from the bonds
as the interest becomes due, and the
interest on the registered bonds will
be paid by checks drawn to the order
of the payees and mailed to their adj
dresses.
The law authorizing this issue of
bonds provides that in allotting said
bonds the several subscriptions of in
diyiduals shall be first accepted. and
the subscriptions OF the lowest
amounts shall be first allotted. In ac-
cordance with that provision allot-
ments to all individual subscribers
will be made before any bonds will
be allotted to other than individuals.
All individual subscriptions for $500
or less will be allotted in full as they
are received, and such subscriptions

WASTING Time.

II time be of all things the most pre-
cious, wasting time must be, as Poor
Richard says. the greatest pr0digality
since, as he elsewhere tells us, lost
time Is never found again; and what
we call time enough, always proves
little enough. Let us, then, be up and
doing and doing to the purpose; so by
diligence shall we do more with less
perplexity. Sloth makes all things diff
ficult, but industry all easy; and he
that riseth late must trot all day, and
shall scarce overtake his business at
night; while laziness travels so slowly
that poverty soon overtakes him.
Drive thy business, let not that drive
thee; and early to bed and early to
rise makes man healthy, wealthy and
wise.-Benjamin Franklin.
