Tie., than $200,000,000 remain unsold, which will proba
bly be disposed of within thu next sixty or ninety dnyi,
when the notes will undoubtedly command a premium, as
has uniformly boon the case on dewing thn fnih-criptions
to other Loana.
In order that citizens of every town and section of the
country may be ulluided facilities for taking the loan, the
National Hanks, State Banks, and Private Bankers througbj
ont the country have generally agreed to receive subscript

whom they have confidence, and who only are to bo re

FACTS ABOUT THE 7-30's-THE AD
VANTAGES THEY OFFER.
Their A__oi.t_TE Security.—Nearly all active credits are
j now hosed on Government securities, aud banks hold them
as thu very best and strongest investment they cau make
I it it were possible to contemplate the financial failure of
the Government, no bank would be nny safer. If money
is loam-d on individual notes or bond nnd mortgage, it
will be payable iv the same currency as tho Government
pays with, and no better. Tlm Government never has
tidied to meet its engagements, and the national debt is m
first mortgage upon the whole property of the country
While other stocks fluctuate from ten to fifty, or even a
greater per cent., Government stocks are always compara
tivcly firm. Their value is fixed and reliable, beyond all
other securities; for while a thousand speculative bubbles
I rise_uid burst, aa a rule they are never below par, and are
often above.
It _ U-HOIU Interest.—Tho general rate of interest is
six per cent., payable annually. j"_u is seven and three*
tenths, payable tcmi-annualty. If you lend on mortgage,
thero must be a searching of titles, lawyers' hum, stamp
duties and delays, and you will dually have returned to
you only the same MM of nipney■you would receive 11 .mi
the Government, and tees of it Ifyou invest in this loan,
j you have no trouble. Any bnuk or bunker will obtain It
j for you without charge. To each note or bond aru afflxfd
live "coupon." or interest tirhtt, due at the expiration of
i each successive halt-ycua. The holder of a note hua slmpt
ly to cut off one of these coupons,present it to tho nearest
bank nr Government Agency, and receive his interest; the
note itself need not l»■ presented at all. Or a coupon thus
parable will n very win re be eip-Jvsleqt, when due, to mo
ney. Ifyou wish to borrow ninety cent, nn the dollar
upon tin- notes, you have the highest security in the mar
ketto do it with. Ifymi wish to sell, It will bring within
a11 -.. i*an of post and interest at any inoine *t. It will be
very l|_ndy to have iv the houso.
It i|o-.vvi:i.TMti.K into a six per cent, gold-bearing bond*
At the expiration of three years a holder of the notes o!
thu 7-30 Loan has the option of accepting payment in lull
• ti . .flio i'l'tm In- noUfiina_txperceiil.gcdd-iiiterest-K.nd
the principal payable m not less than five, nor nmre than
twenty years tn un its date, as the Government may elect
ThesoYonds are held at such v.premium as to make this
privilege now worth two or throe percent, per annum, and
Hill- so much to the interest. Notes of the same class, is
sued three yearn ago, are now selling at a rate that fully
I proves the corrif tuesa of this statement.
Its Exemption fro* Htatk or Mdnicipal Taxation.—
But a.ldt* from itll Ihe advantage* we have (.numerated, a
special Act of Congress exempts alt txmds and Treasury
noUtfrtm load taxatitm. Ou thu average, thi-exemption
is wm tli _lnnit two per cent. |»er annum, according to tho
rate of taxation in various parts of the country.
Iri. a National H .vinos Bank.—While this loa_t pre
set** great advantage., to large capitalists, it offers special
I inducements to those who wish to make a safe and protite-
I ble investment of small savings. It is every way the best
!■-.■!._>' JUank; for every institution of tli is kind must
I ___n_how invest its deposits profitably in order to pay iv«
J terest and expenses. They will invest largely in this l<_an,
las the best in vent ment. But from the gross interest which
1 they receive, they uitwt duduct largely for the ex-ienaes of
I di" Hunk. Tin-ii usual rate of Interest allowed to dcpoal
i . -< is 6 per bent, upon sums over $600. Ths person who
invests directly with Government will receive almost 60
j per cent. more. Thns the man who deposits $1000 in a
I private Savings' lUiik rea.iv._i 50 dollars a year Interests
J If he deposits the HKine wm in this National Savings* Bank
receives ;:t dollHi-s. nr those who wish to find alafe,
