THE GOLD PURCHASE

| met Mr.. Morgan i'll Washington in
the spring of 1895 and a few days after
he told me the real story of the gov
eminent bond syndicate" He said,
substantially rs follows: II went to the
white house with Mr.. Bacon and we
were shown to the hall on the second
floor. In II corner room | saw Prcsi.
dent Cleveland, very much occupied in
writing, ut an upright desk. III II few
minutes he approached rs, with his
hands in his pockets. with rather a
forbidding air. "
The president said: Mr.. Morgan. |
have written to You and telcgraphed
yon that | would not see you on any
matter relating to Il bond issue. The
United States senate is holding me up
and | am determined that the people of
the United States shall know that the
senate of the United States is solely re-
sponsiblc for the present financial cri.
sis"
But said Mr.. Morgan, MIR. Presi-
dent gold is going ont of the treasury
at the rate of from three to five mil
lions Il day. 1t is only n question of
Il short time when the United States
government will be bankrupt. 1t will
then bc on Il silver basis with ar i'm
paired credit, unable to meet its gold
obligations" :" -
To which the president replied: Il
have done Ill | Il or will do" ."
To this Mr.. Morgan said: mir. Prcsi-
dent. / do not ask that the govern
mcnt shall sell bonds, hut Il am here
t. offer to sell to the United States
800, 900, 600 of gold"
Mr.. Morgan then turrcd to Mr.. OF
ncy and called his attention to an act
of congress of 1861, authorizing the
treasurer of the United States to bu,
gold. In Il few minutes Mr.? Olney re
turned 10 the room with the act Of
congress referred 10 by Mr.. Morgan,
saying that the act had never been re.
pcalcd. Mr.. Morgan said he ut once
noticed IL complete change in President
Cleveland's manner and appearances
and he knew that he had won his point
"Mr. President" said Mr.. Morgan
II will sell to the United States gov
eminent 300, 600, 900 of gold and TAX
my pay in United States !, per cen
bonds mt the market price" .
n contract to this effect was prepar
ed by Mr.. Oluey then and there, ant
signed by Mr.. Morgan, which gave tn
United States government the option o
paying for the 800. 900, 900 gold by
new issue of 3 per ccnt gold bonds, or

EYE TROUBLES.
Caused by Improper Food.

Most people would never think of
connecting eye disease with the food
they eat. But when we remember that
every par: Of the body-every organ
is Eourished by the blood and the
blood is made of the food we eat, it
seems reascnable to trace even eye
troubles to food.
\ n. Y man had an interesting ex-
perience at one Of the great hospitals
in that city that may benefit persons
who have chronic eye trouble. He
writes:
-Four years ago was stricken with
an eye trouble. After being unsuccess-
fully treated by several physicians and
occulists, I went to noted New York
hospital.
"On examination they pronounced
my case iritis Inflammation of the

of improper assimilation of food.
"They had to operate on my right
eye, keeping me in a dark room and
on a strict diet for several weeks.
When leaving, the doctor cautioned me
in regard to saving the other eye say
ing that I must be temperate as to
nv diet and use neither tea nor cof-
fee.

possible for me to get and live on what

replied: at is not necessary. AS an Of
