The Return to Prosperity.
Has the financial tide turned and set
permanently toward prosperity? Hon.
Worthington C. Ford, chief of the United
States bureau of statistics, thinks it has,
and he says so in The lilorth American
Review. He says that in the history of
this country 1804 will be known as the
panic year: “1895 will mark the turn
ing of the tide from depression toward
prosperity, absolute as well as compara-
tive. " He mentions that it took six years
for us to recover from the panic of 1873,
but this time he is sure the return to
prosperity will be much more rapid.
He bases his conclusions as to the im-
mediate return of good times on statis-
tics of the foreign commerce of. the
country. The imports of foreign wares
are alwaysa tolerable index to the abun-
dance of money in the United States. We
are an extravagant people. When we
have plenty of money, we import im-
mense quantities of European goods,
largely luxuries. For the fiscal year end-
ing June 30, 1895, we imported alto-
gether $654,094,622 worth of foreign
goods. This was 11.7 per cent more
than we imported for the year ending
June 30, 1894. Less food products were
brought into the country from abroad
in 1895 than in 1804, but "more raw
materials for domestic industries. more
partly manufactured articles and more
manufactured for consumption." Mr.
Ford finds in this change evidence of a
rising industrial movement.
The gold supply'has been arbitrarily
maintained through the Droxel-Morgan
syndicate, but the writer is of opinion
that now the crops are going to the Eu-
ropean market there will be no grout
movement of gold to Europe in any case
for the rest of this year. It appears as
if we must give up for the future the
idea of controlling the world‘s wheat
market. The Argentine Republic has
stepped in and .is cutting the ground
from under our feet, keeping down the
price of wheat and flour.
We exported nearly 000,000,000 more
pounds of cotton in 1895 than in 1804,
though the money received was less
than for the 1804 crop by $3,400,000.
American raw cotton is holding its own
and gaining in all the markets of the
world except Canada, where, owing to
hard times in the Dominion, we lost.
Some articles of course show dimin-
ished exports, copper ingots for one.
The increase in our shipments of bacon,
hams and lard is remarkable, though
dairy products have declined "both in
quantity and value. "

Edward Beecher and Preoexistencs.
Of all the obituary notices of the late
Edward Beecher none apparently has
mentioned what was the that impor-
tant and original intellectual work of
his life. This was a book called ”The
Conflict of Ages." It dealt with the
problem of existence previous to this
earthly one. If Harriet Beecher Stowe
and Henry Ward Beecher had aht been
so famous that they eclipsed in a meas-
ure the rest 0! Lyman Beecher's ll chil-
dren, Edward Beecher would have been
better known. He was really more of an
original thinker and infistigator than
his brother Henry Ward was. And be
retained all his intellectual powers up to
the time of his death at the age of 92.
Only for the accident that necessitated
the amputation of his leg in 1889 he
would probably have continued in an
active pastorate till his last illness, so
wonderful were his vigor and physical
power.
Edward Beecher reasoned out and
gave to the world the doctrine of pre-
existeuce nearly 60 years ago, long be-
fore Blavatsky and the theosophists pro-
claimed it to the world. Beecher did
not indeed go so far as to say man had
had hundreds of existences on. this plan-
et, his spirit being born over and over
again into a succession of lives till he
developed all perfection in thecourse of
the ages. The Puritan, yet kindly
premher, nourished as he had been on
New England theology, could not rec-
oncile the justice of God with the eter—
nal punishment of man. Even if into a
life of 70 years a man had crowded all
the wickedness he could possibly devise,
that, Edward Beecher thoughtuwould
be insufficient to condemn him' to other
in a fiery shcol through all eternity.
Togct around, the difllculty and reo-
oucilc it with Biblical statements the
preacher hitupon the idea that man had
existed in a life previous to this, and
there had sinned. A merciful Deity
would not condemn him utterly, but
would let him come into another life
on probation. Then if there was no re.
pentnnce at the end of the probationary
life the sinner would go down to meet
the doom of damnation. To the end of
his days the good old man believed this.
In an interview with a newspaper cor-
reswndent some years before his death
he said he never saw any reason 'to
change his view. And his father. Ly-
man Bcochcr, said on his deathbed,
“Edward, it does account for things. "
The arbitcrs of propriety for this na-
tion reside on Lung island. Undoubted-
