THE ROTHSCHILDS.

From the Omaha Daily News.
In the year of l743 Jew named
Meyer Anslem, lived in Frankfort, Ger
many. He died, leaving small for
tune to a. SON, who in early years
showed spirit of cunning and shrewd
ness seldom seen. This son went to
Hanover, Germany, Immediately after
his fathers death, and obtained pO-
SitiOn there as clerk in money brok-
ers office. He saved every penny he
earned over and above his bare living
expenses, and adding these savings to
the money his father left him, in few
years set himself up in business as a
pawnbroker and shaver of notes.
Above the door of his pawnbroker shop
young Anslcm hung a sign reading
1.-The Red Shield,' from which he sub
sequently derived the name of "Roths-
childs," by which his descendants are
known today. That age was an age of
wars, and "Rothschilds took advan-
tage of every opportunity that the dis
tresS of others offered to enrich him
self. Princes and mobiles mortgaged
their property to the young shylock at
ruinous rates of usury. He accumu-
lated fortune of about eight million
dollars before he died. He left this
fortune, which at that period was I'M
equalled in all the world, to five sons
whom he had especially trained in the
arts of cunning and usury. His will
stipulated that these five sons should
always stick together and that the
capital left to them should never be
divided. The will also provided that
they should follow the banking and
loan business. At the bedside of their
dying father these five sons took an
oath before magistrate that his
wishes would be carried out to the let
ter. That they faithfully kept their
oath is now matter of history. Ma
than, who was the sharpest, made all
the bargains. In 1898 they opened
branch house in Manchester, England,
and in 1903 another one in London,
where they began to speculate in gov
eminent stocks. During the wars
with Napoleon England became great
borrower of the RothschildS, and from
that time to the present every nation
in Europe has been their debtor. Dur
ing the wars one of the ROthSbhilds
was upon every battlefield, and he re-
ported by carrier pigeons to his broth
ers every result. They were thus en-
| abled to always be on the fright side"
of the stock market. This is called
great tinanciering.,' At the battle Of
Waterloo Nathan Rothschilds sat up
on high hill and watched the result.
On the afternoon of June IS, 1915, he
saw that the armies OF Butcher and
Wellington would win the day. He
Immediately mounted swift steeds sta
toned along the road for his benefit
and struck out for the English chan
| mel. A terrific storm was flashing the
sea and no bOatmen were willing to
cross. He finally found a venturesome
| scipper, who took him over to England
for $500. He landed safely at Dover,
where horses were ready for him. and
pushing his way to London, spread the
news all along the line that England
was whipped by the French. English
stocks fell to pieces. The agents of
the Rothschilds bought them for
song. The next day the news came
that Wellington was victorious and
Napoleon prisoner. Up went Eng
lish stocks and the Rothschild's for
tunes mounted into the Millions.
Such is the history of the pirates who
today hold a world in bondage. This
family of legalized brig nds have
never produced mouthful of food or
yard of cloth. They have never add
ed to the store of the worlds knowl-
edge a single thought. The world for
three generations has been made no
better nor richer for their having lived
in it. And yet today Grover Cleve-
land and the American congress has
trampled under foot all our liberties
at their command. Are you tory or
patriot?
