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

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.

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:

would demand that a man's "politics"
be the last thing to be considered In
deciding his fitness for tho position of
engineer on the public railroad or
manager of the public lighting plant.
Thus, might we not conclude that the
ownership would result in educating
the public to demand that all depart
ments of government should he brought
under more strict civil-servlce-rel'orm
rules? The Voice.
ARE WE FISHWORMS?
What Has Become of Our National
Jlaeklione?
"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.
How much longer will our patience

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. '

REPUBLICANS WANT A CHANGE.
Tliry Will Slutvt lha l'cnili How to
rronpur.
"(live 113 republican rtile for a single
decade and we will show the people
the beneficence of republican legisla
tion. 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. We will show tho people a
policy that Is American in every fibre."
The above are the words of Senator
Frye, of Maine, at a republican banquet
given at Bridgeport, Conn.
Shades of the departed! 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!
This may be styled the sublimate of
gall armor-plated cheek, minus blow
holes!
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. As u further proof
