HOW TIE RogHgcHnDg GET Rich

HOW THE R0TESCBILDS GET RICH.
The following careful estimate shows
how the Rothschilds enrich on intefest:
The Rothschilds in 1864 took . block
of L. 5. bonds, amounting 10 little oTer
5400, 600, 900, 1T TING when gold vas
away up. The result WAS that they paid
about $165, Goo eco on "a gold basis.
On these, during fifteen years, they re
ceivcd about $3.50, 000,0 GEO interest in
gold, Gad now, having already. received
aImest twice tie sum invested, as inter
est, they have claim against the United
States Tor 100000, eco, in coin, with in
terest at four per cent. paid quarterly for
thirty years.
ON the face Of it, then. the United
States, for loan OF $tG5, eco, GOO III gold,
pays an gold $Si0,000,GU0 during forty
| live years.
That is bad enough for the taxpayers,
| but il does not exhibit the amount OF thc
profit which the Rothschilds made out OF
| This little loan Of q hundred and sixty
| five millions.
They are money-lenicrs by profession,
you must remember, and as their inter
| est is gathered in. il is reloaned.
| We have no table handy for quarterly
compounds, bat by compromising theiI
interests every six months, 1t is found
that the original $165, 100000 has al
ready become about $1635,030.OoO. u
this they have received sG05, 00O,Coo, by
this system of compromising, and hold
for the balance the coin bonds of the I
S. at 50 years, 4 per cent. interest.
At the expiration of that time th'
$500 100000 of to-day will have grown
in their pockets To the enormous sum o
$4682 .O0O,00 and adding to this TIL
$605 100000 already received, it show

of Masonry, is, as IT seems 10 me, hasty
conclusion. which no facts yet at land
sustain. Until il can be sheNn that the
Masonic emblems now discovered We're
placed under the obelisk when 1t was
erected on its original site and removed
with it to Alexandria, there is surely
nothing in the fact of their now being
found under the obelIsk to disprove that
version of Masonry.
The Hiram version of MasonTy'' con
meets its origin with the baIlding OF Sol
mons temple According 70 Josephus
the construction OF that temple WAS
commenced 592 years after the exodus
hof the Jews under Moses from Egypt
during the eleventh year OF the reign OF

construction of temple IN round NUM-

ment of the christian era. From the
best attainable history OF the monoliil
