TUE FRUTTs OF THE SYSTEM = The Rothschilds
have fortune of $50 millions of dollars and Lord
somebody. who lately died in England, has left for
tune of 80 millions Of dollars. Though the Roths-
chids operate in Paris and London, yet Frankfort,
Vienna and other German cities, have been and are
the principal theatre Of their business. And in what
has this business consisted In buying and selling
stocks in negotiating loans, or standing between
lender and borrower, and receiving payment for
acting their mutual business. We urge nothing
against this business participate in vulgar
and groundess preJudlces against brokers. They
hold the position between borrowers and lenders
buyers and sellers of money and evidences of debt
with merchants between producers and consumers.
Like merchants, they distributors. But we do
complain of the system which reduces millions to
extreme poverty, and all Its consequent mseries, and
enables man or family to amass, in single gene
ration, 80 millions of dollars. Ten thousand dol
lars. invested in farm, mechanical trade or in
commerce, will afford an ample provision to a family
Of moderate numbers, and is than most farmers
mechanics or merchants possess, in country
of general distribution. The wealth of these Roths-
childs, thus divided, would supply $1,000 such fami-
lies. Divided In portions of $4,000, more than the
majority of our farmers and mechanics possess, it
would supply 10000 such families, and at the of
FIVE persons to each family would afford, with rea-
sonable labor, all the comforts of life 150 200 per-
sons. Hence $4,000 persons must be reduced from
comfort to absolute desttuton to enable one family
to own 100000 millions of dolarsl Such a system
is awful! The statistics of Berlin. the capital of
Prussia. with population of 352 600, show about
10 600 paupers and criminals the latter being driven
to crime by poverty. And whence this enormous
poverty! Il is produced by bad government, produc
ing standing armies, royal luxury, governmental
loans, paper money, stock markets, monopolies of
land and money, landed barons and -barons And
how many paupers and criminals are found in the
British Isles! The question be answered by its
bloated barons, landed and ragged And we rap
idly building up the system One individual in the
East can own FIVE millions Of acres in the West and
thereby compel 81 $50 TO remain landless pau
pers, instead of becoming Independent farmers. And
bank can lend 100000 TO another s enterprising
person to speculate in stocks, while it will not dis
count responsible mechanics note for $500. And
so we go, building up system that builds up Roths-
childs and paupers! And where will it end Just
where it has ended in England and Germany. And
where will that end Just where it ended in France
in 1881 Like causes operating upon like subjects,
always produce like effects. So God has decreed,
and so man cannot repeal These Rothschilds, while
accommodating $50 millions of dollars from the pockets
of Others have not added the wealth of the
world. They have not raised potato, manufac-
tured button, or distributed of bread be-
tween farmer and mechanic, any others. We say
this IN reproach of the system, not of them. The
system is founded upon the very vices of the political
and social constitution. And thus ,hrougha system
originating in mschiefs which ought not TO exist and
which would not exist under good government, well
administered, family able to accumulate enor-
wealth. and thus 10 create mutudes OF paupers
and criminals Retribution must follow, and as it
has followed sVengeance is mine, and will repay,
saith the Lord" And will visit the iniquites Of
the fathers upon the children TO the third and the
fourth generation, of them thathate me- p Ledger
