Notes of Third Series of '7-30s
Now ready-
The demand ior the Second Series
of the 7-30. Njotes was so great I
that the Treasury Dopartmentwaa ]
unable to print them, with sufficient
rapidity to fill the order. It vfdl be
remembered that a hundred millions I
were , subscribed and paid for in a
single week.. The printing presses!
have finally surmounted the difficulty,
laud on Wednesday, Juno 7lb, the de-
livorioS Of the Third Series commenc
ed, and will bo continued with the
sumo promptness that marked the sap*
ply of the notes of the first and second
series.- It has boon this interruption!
of delivery at the time of subscript
ticn which has given an appearance 1
of a falling off in the popular taking
of the*loan,—the. great body [of small,
inkers being unwilling to pay their
money unless they received their
notes right in hand, to carrv them
home. It is expected that after this
week the daily subscriptions to the
Seven-Thirties will run into! millions
as they Will undoubtedly be stimulated
by'the, opening of the farmers’ wool
markets East and West It! is tot at
all likely that the Government will
ever again offer so desirable! a securi*
ty as these notes,. and aboatjtwo ham
dred only regain to be
taken.? 1 !• '| ■ . n
i With the close of the war the na*
tional exponses will be vastly reduced,
and investors= ‘must look for a sharpl
reduction in the rate ot interest as
soon r os. the present loans become
due, and, can-be paid off.' There,is
no reason why :tho United; States’
credit for money-should over again
fell below its credit for courage. The
same spirit that preserved the geogrd*
phical integrity of the country will
place its pecuniary integrity on apsr
with that of the most favored nationa
—and that will represent. a rate of
interest’ under rather than over four
percent. ‘

“Unconstitutional,”— The Suproni e
Court of Wisconsin have decided ihi.t
the la[w of’Congress, requiring stamps
lpgfli iii the beginning
or other stages of a suit, is uncon
stitutional, and therefore voi.d and the
stamps bn legal papers not necessary.
The gremhd of the decision is that tlio'
imposition cf a tax upon any -proceed
ings ih a State court is an inyasibaef
the I light of a State, to rogulaloi pro
ceed! ngsin its own courts; that\; if
Congress can lax .tbesoproccedings
af all, it can lay a tax that [will pnip
tieaily amount to- a prohibition, ard
thus legislate IheJSlate courts out )f
