to pay heavy ransom, levied by one
of Napoleon'S generals, under pain of
sacking the city. This was the first
occasion Q792) in which a Rothschild
negotiated a government loan. Mayer
borrowed the ransom money from the
Landgrave's deposit and thus afforded
great relief to the city.
The son Anselm, already mentioned,
who died in 1865, succeeded his father
at Frankfort. The second son, Solo
mon, born Sept 9, 1774, died July 81,
1855, left the pate~nal nest and estab-
llshed the Vienna house. The third
son, Nathan Mayer, born Sept 16,
1177, founded the London house. though
he died in 1886 in Frankfort He was
regarded as the ablest financier of the
family before or since. A fourth, Sir
Charles, founded the Naples house,
now discontinued. The fifth, James,
died in Paris in 1863, The father of
these sons and head of the family
died in 1872 in the old house in jews
Lane, Frankfort, at the age of seventy.
He passed away in perfect peace, sur
rounded by his family, whom he urged
to live together in harmony. This in
junction became law of the family
and has never been broken. The
branches of the Rothschild house,
though distinct and separate, work
together for their mutual benefit. An
other family traditnon, established by
the first Rothschild, is to observe the
strictest secrecy concerning the small
est as well as the largest concerns of
the business. So that no one knows
what the house is worth, or any of it's
members. The pioneer banker left a.
great estate, but the estimates of its
value range all the way from Sc, OOO.-

THE GREAT NATHAN.
Nathan Mayer Rothschild's life reads
like romance. He came to Manches-
ter as a young man with something
like $500. At the end of five years he
had $1,000,0o0. He was a wit and ho-
morist, as we'll as a financial genius.
and there is record in his own words
of the manner of his growth. In Febru-
airy, 1884, Sir Thomas Busten wrote a
letter to his daughter, which has been
preserved, describing dinner with
Rothschild. "We dined yesterday" he
writes, ''at Ham House to meet the
Rothschilds, and very amusing it was.
Rothschild told us his life and adven-
lures. He was the third son of a
banker at Frankfort. There was not,
he said, room enough for all of us in
that city. 1 dealt in English goods.
| One great trader came there who had
the market to himself. He was quite
| the great man, and did US a favor if
Ishe sold us goods. Somehow I offended
| him, and he refused to show me his
patterns. This was on Tuesday. i
said to my father: 81 will go to Eng
land" 1 could speak nothing but Ger
man. On the Thursday I started The
nearer 1 got to England the cheaper
the goods were. AS soon as 1 got to
Manchester 1 laid out all my money
things were so cheap, and made good
profit. I soon found there We're three
profits-the raw material, the dyeing
and the manufacturing. So 1 said tc
the manufacturer, IT will supply you
with material and dye and you supply
me with manufactured goods So ]

PRESS COMMENT.
They Can't Bide-Track 1t.

Men of deliberation, who can keep
their convictions, prejudices and desires
from being obstructive when they are try
ing to look at both sides of dispute and
determine the situation, can easily see
that the silver question is still lively
one. The improvement in business and
employment, though it has not been on
tremendous scale, has blunted the saw
age edge of the extreme free-coinage
men; but the abstract question of BIZ
metallism remains, and the discussion of
it hereafter is likely to be more thought
full and forceful than it was when the
country was in the depth of the financial
and business slough. By next year the
collateral excitement will be over, and
the friends of the white metal will pre-
sent dignified front that must COM
mand respectful consideration in both
parties.
Possibly the national conventions will
finally declare for monometallism, and
nominate candidates for president and
vice-president unfriendly to silver. If
they do 80 it will be because the gold
men will be in the majority. The ques-
ton can not be lodged in the presidential
year, though there is a good deal of
heetness of intellect among politicians
now. It will not die out. 1t must be
confronted in manly way. Inconsid-
crate talk about "ths silver craze" the
"Hfty-cent dollar" and the "mania" of the
infationists is no longer influential.
The silver men are still prominent in
the sweep of the public eye, notwith-
standing the attempt of shrewd politi-
clans to side-track the money matter in
formative ante. presidential year.-New

Indeed, it comes pretty straight to this

that even this tempting offer has failed to
fetch him. However, negotiations are
still pending, and raise of these figures
is not improbable. The matter rests
