From .sxhe Men of The Tinssp
History of the Rothschilds.
Among the men Of the times few exercise
greater influence than the members of the extern
sive CO. partnership known the house Of Roths-
child, the Improvisation Of that money power
which governs the world. For nearly half q
century their influence has been continually or
the increase; and to them, more than any mon
arch or Minister of State, Europe is indebted
for the preservation Of peace between the great
powers. In order even to give an outline Of the]
immense and successful operations which have
placed d German jew, his SONS and grand sonsi
at the head of the moneyed Interests Of the
world, it would be necessary to embrace the /
history Of Europe IN finances since the year 1872;
sketch Of the rise and progress Of the house,
must, therefore, be Sufficient. Its founder, Mey-
| err Anselm Rothschild, born at Frsnkf ort-on-
the Main, sometime about the year II 40, was a
money changer and exchange broker mansof |
fair character and easy circumstances. When.
in the first campaign of the French Governments
il1792) Gen. Bustine, at the head of the Republi-
to save the town from pilage, agreed to pay d
/ ransom, within q very limited period. But the
money could not be Forthcoming. Public credit !
in Germany was still in Its infancy, and among
1.-THE wealthy capitalists Of Frsnkfort, not one
could be induced T., assist the Senate. u this
strait, Meyer A. Rothschild offered his services
i TO obtain loan for7the required amount, from
the landgraves of Hesse Cassel, by whom he had
frequently been employed in money charging

loan obtained Thus a money lending connec-
i tion between the landgraye and M. A. Roths-

despots who, during the American revolutions,
had sold their troops to England, and who, by
means of a similar traffic, during the wars Of
the French revolution, accumulated immense
a sums of money, but whose trickery drew upon

twelve millions forms {about FIVE millions Of dol

amount of money from the hands of the French,

- not be carried away, and the landgraye had SC
little confidence in his subjects that he could no,
