are payable to bearer, ,and are more convenient for
commercial uses.
Subscribers to this loan will liave the option of having
their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying
the accrued interest in coin (or in United States notes,
or the notes of National Banks, adding - fifty per cent.
for premium), or receive them drawing interest from
the date Of subscription and deposit. As these Ronde
are-
EXEMPT FROM MUNICIPAL OR STATE TAXATION,
their value is increased from one to three per cent. per
annum, according to the rate of tax levies in various
parts of the country.
• At the present rare of premium on gold they pap
OVER EIGHT PER CENT. INTEREST
In currency, and are of equal convenience 8.13 a perma
nent Or temporary investment.
It is believed that no securities offer so great induce
ments to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S.
Bonds. all other forma of indebtedness the faith or
ability of private parties, or stock companies, or sepa
rate communities, only is pledged for payment, while
for the debts of the United States the whole property of
the country is holden to secure the payment of both
principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in Bums from $5O
up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus
made equally available to the smallest lender and the
largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at
any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the
interest.
It may be noeful fa date in this connection that the
total Funded Debt of the United States on which interest
is payable in gold, on the 3d day of March, 1864, was
v 080.5,000. The interest on this debt for the coming
fiscal year will be 141,037,126, while the customs reve
nue in gold for the current fiscal year, ending June 30th,
1864, has been so fax' at the rate of over *100,000,000 per
annum.
It will be seen that even the present gold revenues of
the Government are largely in excess of the wants of
the Treasury for the Payment of gold interest, 'while the
recent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the an
nual receipts from customs on the - same amount of int-
POrtations to $150,000,000 per annum.
Instructions to the National Banks acting as loan
agents were not issued until March 26, but the amount
of Bonds reported sold at the U. S. Treasury sip to Miy
7111, was
$44,616,100.
