Note 1.- The annual interest charge is computed upon the amount of outstanding principal at the close of the fiscal year, and is ex-
clusive of interest charge on Pacific railway bonds. Interest on the 4 per cent. loan is computed at the regular rate from July 1, 1891,
to date of maturity, September 1, 1891, and at 2 per cent. from that date to close of year.

Note 3.–The temporary loan per act of July 11, 1862, is included in the 4 per cent's from 1862 to 1868, inclusive, with the exception of
the amount outstanding August 31, 1865, this being the date at which the public debt reached its highest point. This loan bore interest
from 4 per cent. to 6 per cent., and was redeemable on ten days' notice after thirty days; but being constantly changing, it has been con-
sidered more equitable to include the whole amount outstanding as bearing 4 per cent. interest on an average for the year.

Note 4.-In the recent monthly statements of the public debt the interest accrued has been added to the principal, making the net
debt larger in that amount than the amounts herein stated for each year.
