iX. 1 j Si I f f NATIONS JJOW TOTJIEI ROTHSCHILDS MORE POWERFUL THAN ARMIES AND NAVIES. The Eleven llaroni Work in Concert Yor (rain ( t.lileu Kulea Lall Down by tliu lotiiitler of th Fortune a -Ceil tury Ago. New York correspondence to the Den rer Daily Republican, and written from an old party standpoint. When a Par isian anarchist sent an infernal ma chine to the head of the French Roths childs a couple of weeks ago the finan cial universe trembled the next day, when the cable flashed the news to ail quarters of the globe. How intimately the nations of Europe are entwined with the fortunes of the Rothschilds U a question. That the connection is very dose, indeed, can be seen by a glance at the history of Europe. One nation may declare war upon the other, but not the most powerful of them all has the courage or hardihood to declare war upon the Rothschilds usury mill. Such is the power of gold when guided by the hereditary genuls of this Hebrew family. In all the European wars of the past century the Rothschilds were a most potent factor. They practically held in their hands the power to give defeat or victory to either side, by withdrawing their support from the one side or the other. War in the past has always meant untold millions to them. Car nage coins gold for them. What the wealth of this family is can onjy be roughly estimated. It may be $1,000,000,000 and it may be $3,000,- 000,000; it is somewhere between these figures, for a.'l the gold in the world only amounts to about $3,800,000,000. There are eleven barons, each of them among tho richest men hi Europe, and with their respective fortunes so fixed that they can be used as a unit if need be. AH this wealth sprang from the genius of a son of a poor dealer in furniture and cheap bric-a-brac at Frankfort. This genius was named Mayer Auselum, and over his pawn shop hung a red shield instead of the usual three balls. In German the red shield is called 'Rothschild," and thus Kothschi'd came to be known as the name of Mayer Anselum, who was the founder of a fortune which has no equal in contemporaneous history. In a small way this man started a bank ing business. '.It was a little concern, and for the first . few years he had a .hard .' struggle to keep it from going to the wall. From the first he mapped out certain rules which he absolutely adhered to, and which are just as potent in the management of the numerous banks to day as they were then: and . for that matter they will probably be in force a dozen generations from now, if this combine of gali owners and usurers is not destroyed in the meantime. One of them is: "A man will not tell what he 'has not heard." Another is: "Gold never repeats what it sees." Absolute secrecy in all dealings is the rule of the house. Let a clerk in any of the banks be discovered In talking about the most trivial thing connected with the affairs of the business, and he Is at once discharged. . As far as possi ble the Rothschilds employ clerks from the same family generation after gen eration. The great grandson of a presv rnt clerk may be keeping the same ac counts a hundred years hence that his forefather is working over today. In time capacity for saying noihing be comes heredity. The Rothschilds employ a skillful professor of finance to instruct their growing sons. Finance with them is everything. A few Americans have 'studied under this genius. Henry F. (iillig, the founder of the American Ex change in London, was one cf these, but he did not follow his teachings strictly, for afrer build'.ng up a great fortune in London without having a cent of original capital, he failed seven years ago for $ti.oon,ii00, leaving hundreds of touring Americans stranded in all parts of the g'obe. At the time of the Napoleonic inva sion the great "Redshield ' had built up a local reputation as a llnniicier, and had already established his Ron, Nathan Mj.ver Anselum. in London, for these were unsettled time, and the prudence of the man discovered the necessity of having a place to tly vo it occasion required. When the new of Napoleon' eonilns; readied Frankfort, the elector of Heme placed I.'i.ihi'I.ihiii lialH in the ciiMody of thr elder Itntlnu hild for sufe keep In, Till Mini :is ieiit Id hi f ri Nathan In KikI mil.

Ihe coTiieTto:.c of the ramlly's for 1 1. lie. Wealthy marriages has also brpu p.trt of the creed of the family. In 1SCC the son who had settled in London married the daughter of a rich hanker, levi Barnet f'ohen. This Nathan Rothschild was on tilt battlefield of Vv'aterloo and by a won derfully quick trip reached London be fore the real news had been received by the government. He was on the staff of Wellington, and the minute he saw Ihe defeat of Napoleon was certain he rode at breakneck speed to Ostend. crossed the channel at the risk of his life, and was on the stock exchange next morning. At that time England only knew of the first part of the bat tle, when it seemed that Napoleon was again destined to eonquer. Rothschild's gloomy air and the adroit rumors put in circulation argued the worst for Engiand. The prices -of securities fell at a terrific rate. At the proper time Rothschild put his agents at work buy ing everything in sight. Later came the news of Wellington's victory. Rothschild is said to have cleared $C,- 000. 000 by this shady trick. Biimarck has been forced to bow to the moneyed power of this family. In 1S0C the Prussian government demand ed an indemnity of $25,000,000 from tha city of Frankfort. The Rothschilds sent word to Bismarck that If any at tempt was made to enforce the levy, they would break every bank in Ber lin. This was no idle threat, as Bis marck we.'l knew, and he succumbed to the inevitable. Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, to whom the infernal machine was re cently sent, is the head of the Paris bank. He has, like all the Jew usur ers, strong ideas on the labor question, and has made many enemies in conse quence. Three years ago he expressed these views on the labor problem: "I do not believe in the so-called labor movement. I am confidant that the workingnien are satisfied with their condition and have neither cause nor desire to complain. They are, I am convinced, indifferent to progress. To be sure, some agitators make plenty of noise, but that amounts to nothing: they do not influence the honest and reasonable workingman. "In considering the so-called labor movement it is necessary, however, to distinguish sharply good from bad workmen. Only the idle good-for-nothings desire the eight-hour day. Seri ous men, fathers of families, work as long as they think necessary for their own and their children's needs. There is much loose talking nowadays about the danger of so much capital in the hands of a few men. This is all rub bish. Some men are richer; others are poorer. It is the money which circu lates which fructifies. "Frighten and threaten capital and it vanishes (because we can make it van ish, see!) Capital is like water. Grasp it violently and it slips through your fingers; treat it gently, cllg a canal (bonds) in which to lead k and it runs wherever you will. Capital Is a coun try's fortune. It repiesents the energy, intelligence, thrift and labor of the people. Capital is labor. Apart from unhappy exceptions, which seem to be unavoidable, each shares in the peo ple's capita! according to his intelli gence, energy and work accomplished (and interest absorbs it all if you know how to work the scheme and the Rothschilds do). If a workman be dis contented with his share he may strike (and get shot down by the military, as they did at Homestead and Pullman). "It is unjust to compare a man with capita! , and intelligence, organizing faculties, invention and knowledge with any gross,. brutal workman, who applies to his work only the intelligent work of his hands." These views were not pleasant to the excitable mahses of Paris. Perhaps the infernal machine was an echo of them. Of the clevon barons. Nathaniel, Al fred and Leopold are located in Lon don; Alphons.

A POPULAR OBJECTION VERY CLEARLY ANSWERED. ft'oulil Have a Tenilciiiy to Tuke Pol Itlen Out or the l'ubllc t'lvil Serrlee Kntlier Than to Increane TurtUan Tower of the Oltli rlioliler. The movement for public control and ownership of natural monopolies seems to be gathering force everywhere. Whether representatives of radical or conservative thought be in power they seem to be forced, almost as of neces sity, Into a further and further exten sion of the power of government over matters heretofore left largely to the management of Individuals. This tend ency receives a fresh Illustration in proposals Just made by the new Con servative government in England, through its colonial secretary, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. With the advent of the Conservative party to power in England one might naturally look for a sharp reaction from the alleged socialistic tendencies of the long Libera! reign. We might iexpect immediate cessation of efforts !to ap;ily the principles of the factory lacts, a quiet slumbering of the eight hour movement, and, above all. no fur ;ther demands for the application of ;tbe principles of public ownership to the transportation, lighting, and kin jdred monopolies. But lo! here comes Chamberlain, colonial secretary of an ialleged reactionary government, in a speech which is described as the "one jspeech of the week", that will be remem bered," .. asking the imperial govern ment of England to go into the busi ness of -ailroad building in tropical Africa, for the development of English icolonial interests located there. "If railways are needed in tropical Africa they should be built under colonial or imperial administration rather than be handed over to private . speculators," the secretary is reported as saying. He lurther declared that many of the'Brit Ish colonies are in the condition of un developed estates, which could be de veloped only "by a judicious Invest ment of imperial money." ' This demand of the Conservative En glish secretary contains the very meat and kernel of the demand for public ownership of natural monopolies in this country. An extension of the pow er of the whole people through gov ernment. whe necessary to bring about results demanded by the public good. I'nder such a demand may be in cluded the -movement in the United States for government railroads, a post al telegraph, and municip.il ownership of gas. water and .electric-light works and street railroads. On another page Mr.' Edward .Rose water, of the Omalui P.ee, who has made a careful study of ihe results of public ownership of natural monopolies in England and other European coun tries, answers what seems to us to be one cf the main popn'ar objections to the rripM!y growin?; movement for pub lic oiieihIp of national monopolies -the possible danger of increasing power of th" oTi'p-lio'ding r'nss. Mr. Uosew.irer is arguing for a postal tele graph, and says: "On" great o!ij - tion against the pos tal lelograpli lu tills touutry is that II (nil I bring into operation more politi cal office.

"Thew can be no donor, about it that if the United States were to adopt a silver basis tomorrow British trado would be ruined before the year is out. Every American industry would be pro tected, not only at home but in every other market. Of course the states would surl'er to a certain extent .hrough having to pny their obligations abroaj in gold, but the loss in exchange under this head would bo a mere drop in the bucket, compared with the profits to be reaped from the markets of South America and Asia, to say nothing of Europe. The marvel is that the United States has not long ago seized the op portunity; but for the necessity in the way of commercial success and pros perity, undoubtedly it would have been done long ago." The above is from the London Finan cial News, one of the highest financial authorities in the world. Does It not seem strange remark ably strange-r-that in the light of these frequent admissions on the part of Britr ish journals and statesmen as to tha advantages that accrue to Great Britain by reason of our financial policy, saying nothing of the object lessons constant ly presented to i:s here at home, that we will go on year after year on lines of policy that -are so injurious to our own interests and of such great ad vantage to our English neighbors?. Why will not the American people arise? Have we become-a nation of chumps? Has statesmanship in this couatry gone, to seed? Are patriotism and national pride dying out? Have we none of the spirit that animated our forefathers? What has become of our national backbone? English statesmanship and the vor acious greed of her, financiers has. after a third of a century of intrigue and cunning designs, succeeded, throngh the most damnable , conspiracy ever sprung upon a free people, in reducing the American republic to what is prac tically a British dependency by arti fice and cunning scheming' have our people been reduced to a condition .in finitely worse than -that. against which our forefathers rebelled -accomplished through intrifips with : our modern Benedict Arnolds what she failed fo ac complish by force of arms on two sev eral occasions, bringing us prostrate at the feet of British greed und avarice.

CREATEST OF REFORMS. tnlroduea Thin System ami Sflk at 1lie ICools of 1'arly Tyruuiiy, ami .Stop Kitravagance, (upiilltr anil I'olltieal Ifrlbery. The initiative and referendum form f government which is being agitated from one ocean to the other, and adopt ed by a great many labor organizations is. becoming more and more popular every day, ami means that the people shall rule and settle all questions, na tional, state and county. Tiie U. TM. B. Press, of Tacoma, Wash., says, the form of the initiative and referendum, as proposed ami formulated by the "Di rect Legislation League," as an amend ment to the constitution of any stat and which might be used, is given as follows: 1. The right to approve or reject pro posal state laws shall rest with .a ma jority of the citizens of the state. The right to approve or reject the proposed law of political subdivision of the state, such as county, city, town, township, borough or village, shall rest with the majority of the citizens of such rubdl vlsion. The method of such approval or rejection shall be that known as the referendum. 2. The right to propose laws of the slate shall (In addition to being ex ercised by members of the senate and the house of assembly,) rest with any proportion of the citizens of the state, between 5 and 2. per cent, which may be determined by statute law. The right to propose laws of any political sub-division of that state (such as coun ty, city, town, township, tin-rough, or vlllqge) shall, (In ndeMtlon to being ex ercised by members of Its legislative body as at present.) rest with any pro portion of Its citizens, between 5 and 25 per cent, which may be determined by a law of such political sub-division. The method to be employed in so pro posing measures shall be known as the initiative. The operation of the initiative is mandatory, but regulated by constitu tional provisions. The referendum acts us a constitu tional limitation of legislative and ex ecutive power; and by virtue of this power proposed legislation by the peo ple's representatives is referred back lo them for Indorsement or rejection under the operation of legal provision Of all the reforms In our political machinery this surely Is the best and foremost In its ameliorating and re forming power. It Is an elective means of remqving the whole train of social and political evils that burden the people, and would do much to re store to them their long lost rights. The introduction, then, of the initia tive and referendum Into our political system would be a great and beneficial leform. It Is admitted that It Is our duty to obey tin- laws, but that duty implies another duty embodied in tlif right to approve or reject the laws that we must obey,, both before and after legislation, if necessary, and the ultimate ratification should rest with the clear majority of all the voters of the nation, state or other sub-divisions of these.

Every man who wants work will have it. Wo will restore our merchant marine to the proper place and increase our white, strong armed squadron so they can command the respect of all nations.

Only glva 'em a chance! Oruy want a single dec ade now! Whac neive tha senator has, and he had it with him at that banquet!

Only been out of power a little more than two years when they had had thirty years of rule, during which time the republicans came as near sending the country to the devil as it was pos sible for them to do, and since the dem ocrats took hold the republicans have aided them In every species of vicious legislation suggested. During the thirty years of republican control the curse of monopolistic rule was fastened upon the country. Trusts and combines have grown up and .flour ished as never before In the history of any nation; class legislation has been the rule, and so deeply Is plutoc racy entrenched that even conservative men are free to predict revolution as a means of freeing the people. The causes that have brought the country to where it is today chief of which is the present financial policy originated with tho republican party, which was aided und abetted by the democratic party. Tho present democratic administra tion has not deviated one Iota from the policy of l' republican predeces sors, and yet v a. ore now told that if the republicans are given another chance they will bring prospelfy to the county. Why didn't they do It when they had a chance of thirty years' duration? Senator Frye asks for a decade only wants ten years to undo what It took thirty years to build up. That's too long. (Jive the populists control of this government and they will cleanse the Augean stables in less than one year, and bring relief to the people Inside of sixty days after congress convenes. The republican party and the dem ocatic party have both been weighed In the balance and found wanting. Democracy la dead and republicanism will soon follow. There will bo- uo more chances for either one. o theso old parties, as the people are too thor oughly aroused to place any confidence In them. Their records of venality and hypocrisy are so black and damnnblo that they , cannot longer decelvs tho people. LETTING OUT THE CAT. The Main Ohjawt . 1 to Jrry Ilrlt Ith- favor. The practice of letting, the cat out of the bag Is one more honored in the breach than In the observance. For all that, It Is almost an involuntary process. A subsidized Wall street or-, gan printed this sentence last week: "The victory in Ohio of the sound money men will do mora to reassure nervous people than anything. Eng--land is awaking to the fact that the United States are on a sound money basis, and once again there is a good 1 Inqu'ry, not' only for United States government 'londs, but likewise for our . hailroad securities." It-seems then, that our state cam paigns this year are being carried on j with a wary eye to Lombard Wren and i the Rothschilds. The fact that then I is a good demand for our railroad se I curities is a good thing for the rail j roads, and since that demand d'-pends I entirely ' upon our tbralldom ia goid i monometallism, the railroad power Is J all against rilver.
