Answer - They are lor sale, at par, and accruecl inte'rest, by all Sub-Treasuries, National and olher bauks, and all jankers and brokers. 3d Question- When is the interest payable, and how can it bo collooted ? Ansiver- The Coupons or Interest Tickets are duo 15th of February, and 15th ot August in each yéar, aud eau be cut off iroin tho noto, aud will be oashod by any Sub-Treaaurer, U. S. l)elository, National or other Bauk or Liaoker. 4th Question - When must the Government pay off these 7,30s ? Answer - They are due in two years md a half trom tho 15th of February, 1865; viz. : on the 15th of August, 1867.' . , . 5th Question- Must I receive back my mouey so soon as 1867 ? Answer- No! not unless you yourself prcfer to do bo- the luw gives you tho right to doniand from tho GoverDment, at that time, either your money or an equal ainount at par, of . tho iamous nd popular 5.20 gold bearing 6 per ceut. Loan. 6th Question- How :nuch do you consider this privilege of conversión, into 5,20 loan to be worth ? Answer- 5.206 bearing gold interest from the lst of November, are to day worth 9 per cent. premium. II tney are worth no more fet the end of the two years and a haJf, whea you have a right to them, than tuey dow are, tUis premium added to the interest you re ceive, will give you at least 10 per cent. per annuru lor your mouey- bat the opinión is that they will be worth more than 9 per cent. premium at that time. 7th Quustion- What other advan tage'is thero iu iuvesting in tlie 7.30 Loaü ? , Answer - It cannot be taxed by 8 cates, Oounties, or Cities, and this adda irom one to U) ree per cent. per anuum to the net income oí the holdcr, aocordiug to the rate ot' taxation in various locuhtics. All bonda and stocks, exeept thoae of the United Otates, and all mortgages, &o , are taxed, not ouly by the Goverumeut, but by States, Gnuoties and Cities. 8lli Question- How does the Govorn inent raise the money to pay the interest, and is it safe and suru ? Auswer - The Government collects, by taxes, iutornal revenue, and dutic-s on imports, fully three hundred inillious each vear. This is nearly tbree times as müch as is needed to pay ihe interest on all the debt, and as soou as the war id ended, the auiount not neoded to pay the interest will be used iu payiug otí the dcbt. Our Government bc.s twice paid all Us dubt, and can e&sily do so again. The interest is BUre to be paidEpromptly, and the debt itself is the vory safest investmeiit iu the word. It is as sale as a mortgage oa a good fann, and pays a bottqr interest. It is, in faot, a first nwvtgage on all lands, all inomus, all railroad and cuñal bonda, and bank or other stocks, mortguges, &u. Nothing cau be safer, tor we aro all bound for it, aud all tliat we huve is firmly he'd for the payrnent ot principal and interest. How íooliuh those people are, who keep iheir gold and greenbacks idle and locked up, or purehase mortguges or railroad stocks aud bonds, which pay only five or six per ceut. interest, whon these Seven-Thirties puy (countmg the premium on Five-Twenties,) over ten per cent., and are bo much safer and burer. 9th Questioa - How many SeveuThirties are there, and how muuh rejnains unsold ? Auswer - 'f here are only about threo huudred and twenty-tivo millions authorized by law, and only about one hundred and uinety millious remain unBold. lOth Quostion- How long will it take you to sell the balance 'i Answer - There are about 800 National Banks all engaged m sulliug them ; also a largo number of the old bauka, aud ut least thre tlioutaud private bankeis uud brokers, aiid special agenta will bo engagod in all parta of the count)' in dieposiug of thein Í0 the péople, lllh Quostion - How loog will it tako to st'll ttio wbole ? Ausvver - In lt;sd tlian tbree uioiiths they vvill bo all sold, and will Óp doubt theo sell at a premium, as was the oise with the old Sevt-n '1 birties, tbe tirst Twenty-Year Loao, aud tho Five-Twanties.
