THE PROPHECY.

The following poem, by W. A. Croffut,
Of Washington, was read Ill the opening
ceremonies yesterday in Chicago and
transmitted to the Associated Press papers
of the country:
The Wichita daily eagle., 1893-05-02


The absence of statements of silver
purchases by the government, under the
mandatory provisions of the Sherman
act, which statements We're published
regularly in the Washington dispatches
up to the 4th of March, caused no spec
ial remark. such omission being under
stood to be the result of Secretary Car
Isles orders to cease giving the public
information concerning the business OF
the treasury department except such as
he especially authorized, but since the
announcement that the president has
decided TO order the diSCcntinuance Of
the payment of the bounty on home
produced sugar, the impression has gone
out that Mr.. Cleveland has quietly or
dered the silver purchase to cease. The
payment of the sugar bounty is as
clearly provided for by law as the rur-
chase of silver, and he can arbitrarily
control the one. WHY not tie other.
