OF Hesse and was appointed his agent,
and in 1904 managed successfully his
first government loan OF ten millions Of
guilders for Denmark. His wife's maid
en- name was Gudula SchnAppe. She
bore him 1lve SONS. Anselm Mayer, born
Ia 177S: Solomon Mayer. In 1774;
Nathan Mayer. In 1777; Karl Mayer,
ITS; Jacob. 1892. On his death bed in
1872 he called his i've sons to him and
had them promise three things.
First-To remain faithful to the laws
/ OF Moses.
/ Second-To remain united until the
| end: and.
Third-To undertake nothing without
first consulting their mother
| His last words we're "Observe these
three points and you will soon be rich
among the richest and the world will
belong to you."
He spoke truly. His instructions were
followed both in letter and spirit and
the power of his descendants and CO.
| workers was never SO great as 1t is to-
day. They are absolute masters of the
industry and commerce of the civilized
world.
One incident shows their method: A
/ customer of the Bank of England once
| presented a bill Of exchange of Roth
schilds for discount at the bank, and
the teller pettishly remarked that they
did not discount the bills of private per-
sons. It came to the ears Of the man
ager Of the London branch of the house
of Rothschild. He smiled, said nothing
but at once sent word to all the branches
| OF the house throughout Europe request
ing them to gather Bank of England
notes and send them to him. On a GER
tain Monday morning, shortly there
after, when the Bank of England opened
for business, there stood at the main pay
| window the old gentleman Rothschild;
he had servant with him. the old gen.
tleman had a goodly sized hand sachel
from which he took a Bank of England
| note and demanded gold for it; it was
promptly passed out to him; he took
small pair of scales, carefully weighed
the gold and tested it, saying the law
gave him the right SO to do; dropped 1t
into satchel held by his servant, then
passed out another note and went
through the same performance the pay
ing teller supposed it was simply
whim of the old gentleman, but when a
tenth note, hundredth, and still more
were forthcoming, the teller saw it was
more than mere whim, and it was
found that every window in the bank
where money could be paid out was oc-
cupied by clerk of the Rothschilds.
doing precisely what the old gentleman
was doing. At the close of banking
hours he bade them a pleasant Good
day" said he would return in the morn
ing, and that he had sufficient to keep
them busy for week.
The next morning the Bank of Eng
land posted notices that they would dis
count Rothschild's bills at the same
rates as their own; there was no further
trouble.
Their business is done without any
noise, all done quietly. When they want
anything done they go and do it. If
an important treaty is to be made be-
tween any of the powers it is fixed to
suit them: if it Is to their interest to
start war, it is started and If war
Is in progress, and it is to their interest
to have it stopped, it stops. No trans
actions of national Importance are con-
cluded without their sanction. How is
it done, you ask? By controlling the
money of the world, that is, controlling
the volume of money. by saying just
low much money per capita a nation
shall have. The first real solid foot
hold they got in the United States was
in 1862, during our war; they had the
exception clause put in the greenbacks;
this enabled them to force silver and
gold up to 285 or greenbacks down to
35; then silver and gold was sold and
u. S. bonds bought with the greenbacks
worth IS cents in silver, and the United
States did not even get the IS cents
From that day to this they have con-
trOlled absolutely the financial legisla-
tion of the United States.
It's easy when they can and do make
the laws, because the law makes money
and not the copper, nickel, silver, gold
or paper as they make the people be-
lieve. The most powerful factor they
| have is, of course, the press, especially
the religious and agricultural press,
nine-tenths of which they control alb
solutely; all editorials are written by
men In their employ and subject to their
dictation. This trust" furnishes the
capital to run those papers, the sub
scription is low and the papers excel
lent; except for the insiduous and con-
stant prejudice created by them in the
minds of the people Of everything an
tagonistic to the money trust. This
trust fixes prices Of everything: coal,
meat, farm produce, real estate, railroad
rates, both freight and passenger, wages
manufactures; this is done by control-
ling the money and the banks; every one
of the 1880 banking institutions in the
United States get circulars every Is
days telling them what policy to follow
and If they do NOT follow the instruc-
tiOns sent, as one banker of 80 years
