The inscription on the Liberty Bell reads as follows:

"PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND UNTO ALL THE INHABITANTS THEREOF LEV. XXV X.

BY ORDER OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE PROVINCE OF PENSYLVANIA FOR THE STATE HOUSE IN PHILADA
PASS AND STOW
PHILADA
MDCCLIII"


The one outside of Union Station is DC is locked down... I guess they do not want to ring "Liberty throughout all the Land..."
