THE JEWS AS FINANClERS
tn mention the name Of Rotbscb;ld
is to express in one word all that i
great in the money world of to-day.
But Rothschild is a jew, and the same
family is all-powerful in the great ex-
change centers of London, Frank foa.
Paris, Vienna and Berlin. The opera
tions in money matters of this famous
house have more than once interested
the prosecuting Governments of Russia,
Germany, France and Spain. The
Christian more than once has struck
down the unofending Lazarus as he was
pleased to look upon him, Lazarus turn
ed Dives is quite different person.
To-day the Christian may be in need
let MIN learn to treat Lazarus we'll, for
tomorrow Lazarus will be Dives and in
the shape of Rothschild may prove his
best friend. The Jews in finance are
potent factors the world over, and in our
own country, more especially in the
West, their influence is very great
The Nineteenth century boasts Of its
enlightenment, Its excellence over the
ages that have gone before, in the ways
of perfection and progress. 1t Is a
strange showing, however, that i'll this
last portion of a great era a race that
has so many claims upon the attention
and gratitude Of the world should be re-
lentlessly prosecuted. Lately in Ger
many, or that portion of United Ger |
many called Prussia, comes the wall of
agony from this suffering nation, the +
homeless Jews. Russia, within the /
past month, has engaged in like war
fare. To the honor of the young King /
of Spain be it said, royal proclamation /
has invited a return of the Jews, and |
once more Spain makes amends for her
cruel treatment of a people who helped /
her in centuries gone by. 1t is to be /
hoped that the century in which we are
will see the Jews restored to all the
rights and privileges they deserve. To
Danish them from hotels and baths and
public places here in America is q vio-
lation of all Justice, is un-Americau in
principle and act, and selfrespecting
should visit the perpetra-
tors with marked evidences of indigna-
ton and avoidance.
In the world Of art, within the past
few years, the Jews have furnished
America with more than one artist of
renown. Rachel, the predecessor Of
u 4 b., !
famous Sara herself Eieuxtemps,
and Wilhelm, the eminent
ere Jews. Goldmark, Strauss
and Ducca are members of the hated
race. Ofenbach was jew, Janauschek
and Modjeska are Of the land Of Israel.
THE NUMBER IN THE WORLD.
When we consider that there are not
quite 900 600 Jews in the world and
pause for a moment to review the
achievements of this prosecuted people,
We know hot which to admire most,
their genius or their unexplained vigor
md seemingly ineXhaustive vitality.
That they are destined to play great
role in the future we may be assured
from the study of the past exploits and

They have lived among all nations, with |
them, yet not of them, and they have |
iwelt alone. Influences Of every kind /
political, moral and physical have
been employed against them, yet they
have remained unchanged and are still /

climate, time, have tried
them, leaving them valiant and unsub-

What are they waiting for The

and honey" the glory Of all lands.
