frankfort on the Maln.-The
Rothschilds have closed their
Frankfort bank and removed
its business to Paris. The head
Of the Paris branch was here
not long ago, He said he saw
no reason for banking on sem
timent, and that the Frankfort
business could be done by the Roths'
child agents In Berlin and by their
houses at Paris ana London, This
means the breaking up of the establish
ment upon which the great Rothschlld
fortune was founded, n fortune which
is supposed to amount to more than one
billion dollars,

FORTUNE.
II Is not generally known that the
United States had much to do with the
Rothschild fortune. We have sold the
family tens Of millions of dollars worth
of our bonds, and its different branches
have enormous interests in industrial
America. They took fifteen million
dollars worth Of bonds when Cleveland
was president, and | venture to say
they still own some OF our best rail-
road stocks. They have interests In
our copper mines and gold mines, and
also in our leading lndustrials.
Such investments have been made
during recent years. The beginning was
more than century ago. When George
i'll fought against US In the war Of
Independence he employed about 1900
Hesslans, and for their services he paid
one Of the little German monarchs the
enormous sum OF twelve million dollars
This was William ", Landgrave OF
Hesse, one OF the thrlftiest rulers Of his
time.
This money was still in hand when
Napoleon began his victorious marches
over Europe, and In order to prevent
its capture and consequent loss William
~ gave II over to the care of Mayer
Amsel Rothschild. As the story goes,
the money was brought In a carriage
