BENNER's PROPHECIES.


1t has been told that at time
in the past when certain wise
men were commenting upon the
possibility of a comet which
was lessening the distance be-
tween itself and the earth so
continuing its course as to come !
into contact with and become
destructive to the earth. With |
great positiveness one person /
declared that the comet would |
not reach the earth. When 4
urged to state his reasons for
his position he explained that
if the comet should strike the
earth there would be no one TO
survive to prove the fallacy of
his declaration, and if it did not
strike the earth he would be able
TO lay claim to the soundness of
his prophecy, and have credit
accordingly.
Samuel Benner of Vinton coun-
ty. Ohio, has long been an inter-
ested observer of the course of
commercial events, affecting
values and conditions, prosper
ity and panics. He has worked
out a course of cycles in such
affais, and mas from time to
time,Offered his prophecies as to
conditions to follow, in years to
come. Unless date December
2. 1907, in his book of Prophe-
cies, he says Il predict falling
prices and increasing depression
in all business for seven years
in the future. Then follows a
review of influences and events
with something of reference to
biblical history of famine condi-
tions, and he says: Since the
year 1854 this country has had
to endure two distinct periods of
hard times lasting seven years
each. The coming industrial
depression will be a repetition
of this seven year down cycle in
general business.
Prices do not drop from the
top of prosperity to the bottom
of hard times. says Mr.. Benner.
The tendencies of prices i'll
be gradually downward through
the year 1908, 1909, 1910, to the
year 1911. when an industrial.
commercial, and financial crash
will be due and occur in accord
ance with the panic cycle At
ter the year 1911 the decline in
prices will be accelerated with
extraordinary shrinkage in val
ues during the years 1912 and
1913. The Industries of this
country will be in a state of
gloom in the years 1913 and 1914.
Labor will be thrown out Of en-
ployment because of no work to
do; the people viii be poor and
in distress, with little money in
circulation
In the conclusion of his ex-
pressions Mr.. Benner says: The
handwriting is on the wall. |
sound the note Of warning.
Hard times are coming and will
knock at every mans door"
