"The house of Austria desires war, but
the house Of RothschiId requires peace!"--
Such was the significant remark Of Anselm
Rothschild Of Frankfort, in 1889, when ask
his opinion Of the revolution in Paris which
drove Charles x. from the throne, and which
threatened to convulse the Euro pean conti-
nent. Observation reveals a glimpse of
the tremendous power welded by the great
Jew banking house, which holds in its Bra-
rean hands the "sinews of war;" and is
consequently the urbiter of the destnies of
Europe. Behind the throne Of every Euro
pean State, and greater than that throne,
behind the army of every European State,
and stronger than that army, is power,
grand, terrible and resistless. A few scraps
of paper, partly printed, partly written, a
few chests of metal and caskets of pre-
cious stones, are the armory and the tails.
man of this more than royal and imperial
this gigantic power. This power is called
money; and the possessors Of that power
are the Jews of the house of Rothschild.
How much the Rothschilds are worth is a
question that has been asked very frequent.
ly of late, and has not yet been satisfacto-
rily answered. Their wealth is in such
shape-stocks, bonds and other descriptions
of personal property-th that it cannot be ar
rived at or estimated with any proximity to
correctness. And often their property fuc-
tuates. In nine months of 1S4S (the year
of the French revolution) their losses from
the depreciations of funded and railroad
property in Europe, was forty millions or
dollars. Yet this did not shake their dredit
for moment. They may have lost on c.
quail amount since the breaking out of the
war in the East.
AS the house of Rothschild contributed
materially to the downfall of Napoleon, SO
they have had hand IN all the subsequent
military operations of the eastern world
The New York Journal of Commerce has
the following remarks respecting the recent
transactions of the money-kings:
"Their loans have reached the enormous
amount of $575,oOO,OOo, viz: to England
$S0,oo0,o0o; to Turkey $4O,o0O,o00; to
Austria $lS0,000000, first loan 10 Rus.
sia $l30,000,00o; to Sardinia $40 ,000, 900;
to England in exchequer bills, $4,000 900;
and second loan just perfected $l0O o00,.
900. tits this last loan, which the Roths-
chlds it is said, have agreed to make in
gold, that is supposed to be at the bottom of
the specie movement. Most of these loans,
it is to be presumed, have been sold out be-
fore this, the Rothschilds in such cases
merely acting as agents between the public
and the governments that borrow. Never
theless, the house that can even temporari-
ly assume such burden, within little more
than twelve-month, must be one OF gigan-
tie influence, credit and power. It is now
plain that this same house is on the side OF
peace"
The Rothschilds are universally regard
ed as men Of strict probity and honor. Il
was his high character, as we'll as tact and
business talent which gave Meyer Anselm
Rothschild, the founder of The house, the
gratuitous use of the treasure of Old Lam
grave of Hesse Cassel, during the Napole-
onic era, and thus secured the fortunes of
the brokers' family. But their whole power
is enlsttd on the side of established gov.
ernments, and the cause of liberty in Eu.
rope has no deadlier enemies than the great
Jews bankers of the 10Th century.
