In addition to the expenditure by the Harrison administration of the large bal. ance in the Treasury left by President Cleveland's first administration, the Re. publican Congress turned into the Treas ury a trust fund of $54,000,000 to be ap- plied to the ordinary expenses of the government. This was the fund held by the goyernment for the redemp- tion of national bank notes, and was simply a forced loan by the government, in violation of the sanctity of the trust creating it, when that fund was placed in the hands of the government for it in a specific purpose.

This is the season when the tired body, weakened organs and nervous system yearn for a building up medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla.
