Tex. DR.. Beall is SO years old, las
been a practicing physician in Texas

cause OF his long record and his fidel-

What Caused The PanIcg Savannah News

It is evident that the question as to what caused the money panic is going to be subject of discussion for some time to come. The other day we called attention to the opinion of the Control Ter of the Currency. that the panic was caused by overtrading, too great eX- pansion in business and extravaganza in living. On Thursday The New York Herald published a review of the finan- ctal market of New York for the past year, and in connection with 1t num- Der of articles from men of prominence in the various fields of endeavor. One Sumner of Yale University. who Is re- garded as an authority on political and social sciences His article is interest ing and valuable. It goes into the subject thoroughly and leaves the inn pression that he has got pretty close to the truth. In his opinion the cause of the panic was loss of confidence in our financial institutions, our rail way and industrial corporations. The loss of confidence was brought about hy indiscrtminate condemnation of cor porations, attacks upon the rich" and to the growth of socialistic and semi socialistic doctrines.
 For sey eral years before the panic the attacks upon great corporations. alleged in some instances to be monopolies. and upon great fortunes had been persistent. There was a vast amount of talk of watered stocks and of great fortunes made by unloading stocks of this kind upon an unsuspect- ing public. The charge was brought against the corporationsI that they were getting control of the wealth of the country. Stock watering and
