LIBERTY BONDS

From the Chicago Tribune
 United States Liberty Bonds ranged downward on the New York stock ex- change Wednesday to 8 minimum of S5 for the second 4As. At this price the bonds offer the best conservative in- vestment ever open to the public They pay return of per cent and are re- deemable by the government after June 1o. 1882, at an advance of Is. With this increase in value, whic his as cer- tain as the interest, they will return in the neighborhood of per cent to in- vestors,
 The conclusion seems obvious It is the part of wisdom for conservative in- vestors to hold the bonds they now own. and to buy more as they are able at the low prices. Neither interest nor principal can fail while the nation stands. The investment is almost as currency It can be changed into cash at moments notice in emergency.
 Depreciation of values to date has in no way weakened the safety of the se- curity. The income on the original in- vestments is exactly what the govern ment promised. The ultimate return will be exactly what the government promises dollar for dollar. Those who kaye clung and continue to cling to their bonds lose nothing. Those who buy now will gain more.
 When the bonds come to maturity and are redeemed at par. it is reasona- ble to believe, the dollar of gold ob- tained will buy twice as much as the dollar invested now.
 Insurance companies and conserva- tive savings banks are strengthened by the availability of such securities as Liberty Bonds at S5. Indirectly, the public also will profit by this fact The bonds are still good things to buy and better things to hold.
