THE CAUSES OF PANICS.
Nov.- that the financial panic Is
over ami Its ultimate effects upon the
ludufi trial processes of the mil ion re
main to bo ascertained, there Is a
?oni.'.wimt marked subsidence or the
: clamourous- charges mid counter
Charges of roifpouslblllty for the
.event. A mouth or so ago, as most
people will remember, the columns
of the newspapers were largely tak?
en up with assertions as to what was
" tin' -'eanse" -<Jf the midden develop?
ment of frlghit and distrust which
''EtlOWed down tho wheels of business
ho signally antl made the prueuro
tni'iit of ready cMRhycxceedlngly d.ill

euit banks.
Excitement, rather than sober reas?
oning was tho i>roihlnent foaiure lu
numbern of these statements, as was
jiaturjJIy to b.o expected. At tlhe
present time It ought to be possible
to consider Itho (|iieutIon more dispas?
sionately. Perhapa many people who
thus consider Jt are Inclined to think
that there was no Kl?gle cpeclltc
''-'Cause" that brought tho check about
but that R was due to several forces
acting together. One of the most In
tbreutlnfl expressions on tho subject
Is that of Mr. Alexander Noyes. tlcttn
elnl editor of tho New York Evening'
ro&t, In au mittele In the current num?
ber of the Century magazine. After
a comprehensive review of the mat?
te:-, Including re-flarcneie to such pre?
vious panics as those of IS?", of lS7:t.
and or 1903. he declares his belief
that -so I'nr em tho crash of values In
19iV<" is concerned, none of tho factors
.most, commonly mentioned was the
"fnndanif. nlal cause," although each of
them "may have played snnio part,
whether gvr-ut. or small." Undue op?
timism, tho over extension of credits,
and the ignoring of the inexorable
economic laws.by tlio present gene-ra?
tion of llnanclaiis and business men.
be asserts, was the root of the iron
bio. On this- point he says:
"Human nature is such that noth?
ing save individual exporlenoe of the
sort will convince the average man)
that n Hntit Is set by financial law
do the use of credit in rapid Inden-1
trial expansion, and that the limit j
will Usualy have been very nearly
reached when bitainess prosperity!
alet ins to have re-ached its most ex
tilted hti'g.bts. Each successive basi
, ?t-'ess gene-ration, therefore, pursues its
way In"-cheerful defiance of Mm teach

financial nnd Industrial bubble; eat-b.
aftov two tir three din'egarded Winn?
ings, has to fuco the terrific penally:
arid, having payed through that ex
perie-nco, each may be deprwded on |
fiyt conservatism until rlto next gen
oratlou of exploiting financiers comes]
on the scene."
There niro many grounds for think

in o larR-j port, very near the truth,

others who an' to suffer the extreme
penalty, occur in the yard of the state
penitentiary, and to have the last

few persona, The ground*has been
taken by soyornl Virginia papers Iba?
it would be an Infringement <n Iho

Most of the witnesses are uewspapir

It appears that II? ro Iii a professor

arid unaware of (he oMtalenco of n

Toddy wo lutfstoii to greet both with
proBtctttatlons of our distinguished
consideration.
Professor Blklns, ii seems, has a
plrtn for tho regeneration of ibo hti
mnn raee. .\s it oiwd eastward in
the press dispatches, It appears to bo
divided luXp eight .-.?parate ami dis?
tinct slices or BOctCtuis, With seven
of thc-m wo have no conn ru whatever,
but upon tho' eight our attention Is
powerfully focused. Thta Is a propo
sLtlon that tho newspapers of the

im (Halo illschargo of their editors, i
who write bud English, prlnl long r<

Into the publishing business, ami thus

We trust that Professor BIMIns will

appreciate our lack uf ??crsuunl ran?

A good oil'tor must have the casuistic

He huts be a theologian, a lawyer
