IJIPOUTAST INFORMATION. 
U. S. 5-20's 
THE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY 
lias decided to continue for a short time the sale of this pop- 
DlarLoan at Par, or until ten days notice is given to the 
contrary. 
The whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five Hundred 
Millions of Dollars. Nearly Tlirco Hundred Mil- 
lions have been already subscribed for and 
paid into the Treasury, mostly within the last six 
months. The balance, (Two Hundred Millions.) is hardly 
sufficient to furnish the basis for circulating notes for the 
National Ranking Associations now rapidly organizing in all 
pails of the country. 
The sales frequently reach Two Millions in a day. 
It is confidently expected that the sales will still further in- 
crease, especially as a large foreign demand (mostly from 
Germany,) has lately sprung up, which is likely to absorb 
One or Two Millions, weekly. A very short period only 
Diust elapse before this Loan is wholly absorbed, and as it is 
Well known that the Secretary of the Treasury has ample 
and unfailing resources in the Duties on Imports and Inter- 
nal Revenues and in the issue of the Interest bearing Legal 
Tender Treasury Notes ; it is almost a certainty that lie will 
not find it necessary, for a long time to come, to seek a mark- 
et for any other long or permanent Loans, the Interest 
and Principal of which are payable in GOLD. 
Prudence and self-interest must force the minds of those 
contemplating the formation of National Banking Associa- 
tiitus, as well as the minds of all who have idle money on 
their hands, to the prompt conclusion, that they should 
lose no time in subscribing for this most popular Loan. 
It will soon be beyond their reach, and advance to a hand- 
Bome premium, as was the result with the "Seven-Thirty" 
Loan when it was all sold and could no longer be subscribed 
for at par. 
It is a Six per cent* Loan, the Interest and 
Principal Payable in Gold, thus yielding 
Eight to Nine percent, per annum at the present 
rate of premium, on coin. 
The Government requires all duties on imports to be paid 
in Coin; these duties have for a long time past amounted to 
over a Quarter of a Million of Dollars, daily, a sum nearly 
three times greater than that required in the payment of the 
interest on all the 5-20's and other permanent Loans. So that 
it is hoped that the surplus Of Coin in the Treasury, at no 
distant day, will enable the UUted. States to resume specie 
payments upon all liabilities. 
The Loan is called 5-20 from the foot that whilst the Bonds 
may run for 20 years, yet the Government has the right to 
pay them off in Gold, at par, at any time after 5 years. 
The Interest is paid half-yearly viz.: on the first 
days of November and May. 
Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds which arb payable to 
bearer, and are of $50, $100, $500, $1000; or Registered Bonds 
of same denominations, and in addition, $5,000, and $10,000. 
For Banking purposes and for investments of Trust-monies 
the Registered Bonds are preferable. 
These 5-20's can not be taxed by states, cities, towns, or 
counties, and the Government tax on them is only one-anrt-a 
half per cent., on the amount of income, when the income of 
the holder exceeds Six Hundred dollars per annum; all other 
Investments, such as income from Mortgages, Rail Road 
Stock and Bonds, etc., must pay from three to live per cent, 
tax, on the income. 
Banks and Bankers throughout the Country will continue 
to dispose of the Bonds; and all orders by mail, or otherwise 
will be promptly attended to. 
The Treasury Department having perfected arrangements 
for the prompt delivery of Bonds ; Subscribers will be ena- 
bled to receive them at the time of Subscription, or within 
Four days thereafter. This arrangement will be gratifying 
to parties who want the Bonds promptly on payment of the 
money.
