New York correspondence to the Den
ver Daily Republican, and written from
an old party standpoint. When a l’ar
iaian anarchist sent an infernal ma
chine to the head of.the French Roths
ehilds a couple of weeks ago the flnan
clal universe trembled the next day,
when the cable flashed the news to all
quarters of the globe. How Intimately
the nations of Europe are entwined
with the fortunes of the Rothschilds is
a question. That the connection i* very
close, indeed, can b« seen by a glance
at the history of Europe. One nation
may declare war upon the other, but not
the most powerful of them all has th<
eouragcMor hardihood to declare war
upon theRotbschilds usury mill. Such
is the power of gold when guided by the
hereditary genuis of this Hebrew
fa mil y.
In all the European wars of the past
century the Rothschilds were a most
potent factor They practically held in
their hands the power to give defeat or
victory to either side, by withdrawing
their support from the one side or the
other. War in the past has always
meant untold millions lo them. Car
nage coins gold for them.
What the wealth of this family is
can only be roughly estimated. It, may
be $1,000,000,000 and it may be $3,000,
000,000; it is somewhere between those
figures, for all the gold In the world
only amounts to about $3,800,000,000.
There-are eleven barons, each of them
among the richest men in Europe, and
with their respective fortunes so fixed
that they can be used as a unit If need
he.
All this wealth sprang from the
genius of a son of a poor dealer in
furniture and cheap bric-a-brac at
Frankfort. This genius was named
Maygr Anselum, and over his pawn
shop hung a- red shield Instead of the
usual three bails, In German the red
shield is called "Rothschild," and thus
Rothschild cams to be known as the
name of Mayer Anselum, who was the
founder of a fortune which has no
oquiil in contemporaneous history. In
a small wiiy this man started a bank¬
ing business. It was a little concern,
and for tho first few years
ho had a hard struggle to
keep it from going to tho wall.
From the first lie mapped out certain
rules which he absolutely adhered to,
and which are just as potent In the
management of the numerous bunks to¬
day as they were Hym; and for that
matter they will probably bo In force
u dozen generations from now. If this
combine ot gulii owners and 'usurers
is not destroyed in the meantime,
One of them is; “A man will not tell
what he lias not heard." Another is:
“Gold never repeats what it sees.”
Absolute secrecy In nil dealings is the
rule of the house. Let a clerk In any
of the banks he discovered in talking
about the most trivial thing connected
with the affairs of the business, and lie
is at once discharged. As far ns possi¬
ble the Rothschilds employ clerks from
the same family generation after gen¬
eration. The groat grandson of a pres¬
ent clerk may be keeping the same ac¬
counts n hundred yours hence that his
forefather Is working over today. In
time capacity for saying nothing be
comes heredity.
The Rothschilds employ a skillful
professor of finance to instruct their
growing sons, Finance with them is
everything. A few Americans have
studied under this genius. Henry F.
Gillig, the founder of the American Ex¬
change in London, was one of these.
but he did not follow his teachings
strictly, for after building up a great
fortune in London without having a
cent of original capital, he failed
seven years ago for $6,000,000, leaving
hundreds of touring Americans
stranded in all parts of the globe.
At the time of the Napoleonic inva¬
sion the great “Redshleld" had built
up a local reputation as a financier,
and had already established his son,
Nathan Mayer Anselum, in London, for
tjieee were unsettled times, and the
prudence of the man discovered the
necessity of having a place to fly to if
occasion required.
When the news of Napoleon’s coming
reached Frankfort, the elector of Hesse
placet! 15.000,000 francs in the custody
of the elder Rothschild for safe keep
ing. This sum was sent to his son
Nathan in England. Napoleon heard
of it and tried in every way to induce
the banker to give it up.
A commission went to his establish¬
ment and minutely examined the vault
and the books. Menaces and intimidn
tions were in vain, however, in per
suading Rothschild to divulge the
whereabouts of the treasure, and the
commission undertook to play upon his
religious scruples by demanding an
oath. He refused to take it, and there
was talk of putting him under arrest.
Napoleon did not quite care to venture
such an act of violence, and an effort
was made to win the old man by the
promise of gain. They proposed to him
to leave him half of the treasure if he
would de’iver the other half to the
French officials. They promised him
a receipt iu full, accompanied by a cer¬
tificate proving :ie had viol ac .1
only to force and that he was blameless
for the seizure of amount.
But the banker h

back to him. The terms of the deposit

ity the cornerstone of the family’s for¬
tune.
Wealthy marriages has also been part
of the creed of the family. In 1806 the
son who had settled in London married
the daughter of a rich banker, Levi
Barnet Cohen.
This Nathan Rothschild was on the
battlefield of Waterloo and by a won
derfully quick trip reached London be
fore the real news had been received
by the government. He was on the
staff of Wellington, and the minute he
saw the defeat of Napoleon was certain
he rode at breakneck speed to Ostend,
crossed the channel at the risk of his
life, apd was on the stock exchange
next morning. At that time England
only knew of the first part of the bat
when it seemed that Napoleon was
destined to conquer. Rothschild’s
gloomy air and the adroit rumors put
in circulation argued the worst for
England. The prices of securities fell
at a terrific rate. At the proper time
Rothschild put his agents at work buy
ing everything in sight. Later came
the news of Wellington’s victory.
Rothschild is said to have cleared $6
by this shady trick,
Bismarck has been forced to bow to
the moneyed power of this family. In
1866 the Prussian government demand
ed an indemnity of $25,000,000 from the
city o! Frankfort. Ihe Rothschilds
“nt word to Bismarck that if any at
'erupt was made to enforce the levy,
they would break every bank in Bet
Hn. This was no idle threat, as Bis
inarck well knew, and he succumbed to
the Inevitable.
Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, to
whom the infernal machine was re
centJy sent, Is the head of the Paris
bank. He has, like all the Jew usur
ers, strong ideas on the labor question,
and has made many enemies in conso
quenee. Three years ago he expressed
these views on the labor problem:
“I do not believe in the so-called
labor movement, 1 am confidant that
the workingmen are satisfied with their
condition and have neither cause nor
desire to complain. They are, 1 am
convinced, indifferent to progress. To
be sure, some agitators make plenty of
noise, but that amounts to nothing;
they do not influence the honest and
reasonable workingman.
“In considering the so-called labor
movement it is necessary, however, to
distinguish sharply good from bad
workmen. Only the Idle good-for-noth¬
ings desire the eight-hour day. Seri¬
ous men, fathers of families, work as
long as they think necessary for their
own and their children’s needs. There
is much loose talking nowadays about
lho danger of so much capital in the
hands of a few men. This is all rub
bish. Some men are richer; others are
poorer, It is the money which circu
lates which fructifies.
“Frighten and threaten capital and It
vanishes (because we can make it van¬
ish, see!) Capital is like water. Grasp
it violently and it slips tbrou; h your
'lingers; treat It. genuy, dig a canal
(bonds) In which to lead it and It runs
wherever you will. Capital is a coun¬
try’s fortune. It represents the energy,
intelligence, thrift and labor of the
people. Capital is labor. Apart from
unhappy exceptions, which seem to be
unavoidable, each shares in the peo¬
ple's capita! according to his intelli¬
gence, energy and work accomplished
(and interest absorbs it all if you know
how to work the scheme and the
Rothschilds do). If a workman be dis¬
contented with his share he may strike
(and get shot down by the military, as
they did at Homestead and Pullman).
"It is unjust to compare a man with
capital and intelligence, organizing
faculties, invention and knowledge with
any gross, brutal workman, who applies
to his work only the intelligent work
of his hands.”
These views were not pleasant to the
excitable masses of Paris. Perhaps the
infernal machine was an echo of them.
Of the eleven barons, Nathaniel, Al
fred and Leopold are located in Lon
don; Alphonse, Gustav, Edward, Adolph
ami James in Paris; Nathaniel in Vicn
in atid William in Frankfort. The
New York Belmonts are the agents in
the United States.
Some idea of their riches can be had
from the fact that since 1815 they have
raised for Great Britain alone more
than $1,000,000,000; Prussia, for Austria. $250
000,000: for $200,000,000; for
France, $400,000,000; for Italy, nearly
$300,0000,000; for Russia, $125,000,000;
for Brazil, from $00,000,000 to $70,000,
000; and they took through the Bel¬
mont syndicate $150,000,000 of the issues
of United States bonds issued by Cleve
land and Carlisle.
To be plain, the Rothschilds gold
octopus is today ruler of the universe
and their gold commands the armies
and navies of the world.
if peace, happiness and prosperity
ever, come back to the people of the
world it will be when the power of the
Rothschilds has been wiped irom the
face of the earth—and never before
for today the net proceeds of all the
products of the world, measured by
Rothschilds' standard, do not amount to
enough in dollars and cents to pay the
interest on the debts these Jew bankers
hold over the nations of the earth.
Government costs money and so does

For centuries Christians have perse¬
cuted the Jews—the Rothschilds are
now getting even with Christians and
more, too.
Without guns and through the silent
power of usury alone the Rothschilds
fast reducing the so-called Chris

CLEARLY ANSWERED.

Power of the OliireholtieVH.
•'
The movement for public (**"1501 and
ownership of natural monopolies seems
to be gathering force everywhere.
Whether representatives of radical or
conservative thought be in power they
seem to be forced, almost as of neces¬
sity, into a further and further exten¬
sion of the power of government over
matters heretofore left largejy. to the
management of individuals. This tend¬
ency receives a fresh illustration in
proposals just made by the new Con¬
servative government in -England,
through its colonial secretary, Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain.
With the advent of the Conservative
party to power in England one might
naturally look for a sharp reaction
from the alleged socialistic tendencies
of the long Liberal reign. We might
expect immediate cessation of efforts
to apply the principles of the factory
acts, a qui slumbering of the eight
hour movement, and, above all,“no fur¬
ther demands for tlie application of
the principles of public ownership to
the transportation, lighting, and kin¬
dred monopolies. But lo! here comes
Chamberlain, colonial secretary of an
alleged reactionary government, in a
speech which is described as the "one
speecli of the week, that will be remem¬
bered,” asking the imperiaL-govern
nient of England to go into ^te busi
ness of railroad building in'tropical
Africa, for the development o' English
adojiial. Jntergatf | * ' * Jf
railways are needed in tropics a Africa
they should be built under cofcnial or
imperial administration rather than be
handed over to private speculators,"
the secretary Is reported as saying. He
iurther declared that many of the Brit¬
ish colonies are in the condition of un¬
developed estates, which cou!d be de¬
veloped only “by a judicious invest¬
ment of imperial money.”
This demand of the Conservative En
elisli secretary contains the very meat
and kernel of the demand for public
ownership of natural monopolies in
this country. An extension of the pow¬
er of the whole people through
ernment, when necessary to
about results demanded by the
good. Under such a demand may be
cluded the movement In the
States for government railroads, a
al telegraph, and municipal
of gas, Water and electric-light
and street railroads.
On another page Mr. Edward
water. of the Omaha Bee, who
made a careful study of the results

in England and other European
tries, answers what seems to us to
one cf the main popular objections
ho rapidly growing movement for
lie ownership of national
—the possible danger of
power of the office-holding class.
Rosewater is arguing for a postal
graph, and says: ..
“Oue great objection against the
tal telegraph in this country is that
would bring into operation more
cal offices. I regard this as one of
most important and beneficial
of the whole affair. It would be an
tering wedge for the greatest
success of the civil service. It

holding away
ing the officers free to inquire into
'earn their duties to their office and
the public.”
We are inclined to agree with
Rosewater that this increase of
called office-holders resulting from
creased public ownership of
monopolies would, as he
tend to take polities out of
civil service, rather than, to

•would demand that a man’s “politics”
be the last thing to be considered in
deciding his fitness for the position of
engineer on the public railroad or
manager of the public lighting plant.
Thus, might we not conclude that the
ownership would result in educating
the public to demand that all depart¬
ments of government should be brought
under more strict civil-service-reform
rules?—The Voice.
ARE WE FiSHWORMS?
IVliat Has Become of Our National
Backbone?
“There can be no doubt about it that
if the United States were to adopt a
silver basis tomorrow British trade
would be ruined before the year is out.
Every American industry would be pro¬
tected, not only at home but in every
other market. Of course the states
would suffer to a certain extent through
having to pay their obligations abroad
in gold, but the loss in exchange under
this head would be a mere drop in the
bucket compared with the profits to be
reaped from the markets of South
America and Asia, to say nothing of
Europe. The marvel-is that the United
States has not long ago seized the op¬
portunity; but for the necessity in the
way of commercial success and pros¬
perity, undoubtedly it would have been
lone long ago.”
The above Is from the London Finan¬
cial News, one of the highest financial
uthorities in the world.
Does it not seem strange—remark¬
ably strange—that in the light of these
frequent admissions on the part of Brit¬
ish journals and statesmen as to the
advantages that accrue to Great Britain
by reason of our financial policy, saying
nothing of the object lessons constant¬
ly presented to us here at home, that
we will go on year after year on lines
l irY *V n ,(^r , l U 1-1 ‘•fljj 11 .!'' 1 ™ 1 " to our
own interests and of such great ad¬
vantage to our English neighbors?
Why will not the American people
arise? Have we become a nation of
chumps? Has statesmanship in this
country gone to seed? Are patriotism
and national pride dying out? Have
we none of the spirit that animated our
forefathers? What has become of our
national backbone?
English statesmanship and the vor¬
acious greed of her financiers has, after
a third of a century of Intrigue and
cunning designs, succeeded, through
the most damnable conspiracy ever
sprung upon a free people, in reducing
the American republic to what is prac¬
tically a British dependency—by arti¬
fice and cunning scheming have our
people been reduced to a condition in¬
finitely worse than that against which
our forefathers rebelled—accomplished
through intrigues with our modern
Benedict Arnolds what she failed to ac¬
complish by force of arms on two sev¬
eral occasions, bringing us prostrate at
the feet of British greed and avarice.
How much longer will our patience
endure? When will the American peo¬
ple arouse and shake off this accursed
yoke of oppression? Oh, for men—
strong men, men of hearts, of courage—
who dare to think and to act, and who
are not given over wholly to the god
of mammon.

A few days ago Colonel- Edgar How¬

NITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM,
GREATEST OF REFORMS.
introduce This System and Strike at
the Hoots of Party Tyranny, and Stop
Extravagance, Cupidity and Political
Bribery.
The initiative and referendum form
)f government which is being agitated
'rote one ocean to the other, and adopt
;d by a great many labor organizations
s becoming more and more popular
tvery day, and means that the people
shall rule and settle all questions, na
jonal, state and county. The U. M. B.
Press, of Tacoma, Wash., says, the
orm of the initiative and referendum,
is proposed and formulated by the “Di
sect Legislation League,” as an amend¬
ment to the constitution of any state
and which might be used, is given as
follows;
1. The right to approve or reject pro¬
posed state laws shall rest with a ma¬
jority of the citizens of the state. The
right to approve or reject the proposed
law of political subdivision of the state,
such a3 county, city, town, township,
borough or village, shall rest with the
majority of the citizens of such subdi¬
vision. The method of such approval
or rejection shall be that known as the
referendum.
2. The right to propose laws of the
state shall (in addition to being ex¬
ercised by members of the senate and
the house of assembly,) rest with any
proportion of the citizens of the state,
between 5 and 25 per cent, which may
be determined by statute law. The
right to propose laws of any political
sub-division of that state (such as coun¬
ty, city, town, township, borough, or
village) shall, (in addition to being ex¬
ercised by members of its legislative
body as at present,) rest with any pro¬
portion of its citizens, between 5 and
25 per cent, which may be determined
by a law of such political sub-division.
The method to be employed in so pro¬
posing measures shall be known as the
initiative.
The operation of the initiative is
mandatory, but regulated by constitu¬
tional provisions.
The referendum acts as a constitu¬
tional limitation of legislative and ex¬
ecutive power; and by virtue of this
power proposed legislation by the peo¬
ple’s representatives is referred hack
to them for indorsement or rejection
under the operation of legal provisions.
Of all the reforms in our political
machinery this surely is the best and
foremost in its ameliorating and re¬
forming power. It is an effective
means of removing the whole train of
social and political evils that burden
the people, and would do much to re¬
store to them their long lost rights.
The introduction, then, of the initia
tive an3"reTeTehhtinrTttto
system would be a great and beneficial
reform. It is admitted that it is our
duty to obey the laws, but that duty
implies another duty embodied in the
right to approve or reject the laws
that we must obey, both before and
after legislation, if necessary, and the
ultimate ratification should rest with
the clear majority of all the voters
of the nation, state or other sub-divis¬
ions of these.
Introduce this system and strike at
the roots of party tyranny, and stop ex¬
travagance, cupidity and political rob¬
bery and lay an ax of economy to the
very roots of scheming corruption.
In 1893 the city of Haverhill, Mass.,
by a unanimous vote adopted direct
legislation through the initiative and
referendum; secured by the persistence
and take-no-denial attitude of the
workingmen, demanding justice and
fair play as supreme qualities that
should distinguish the legislative and
executive power of their public serv¬
ants. By the adoption of this one prin¬
ciple they secured a common ground
in regard to all abuses, monopolies and
a common plank upon which all reform
parties can stand.
This grand theory of political ma¬
chinery and of sovereign power in the
hands of the people, wherein it has had
practical operation, has proven in two
hemispheres a most thorough and
peaceful revolutionary institution. As
regards the initiative, it has been used
in our own country since before its ex¬
istence as a nation.
In Belgium. 1S92, through the use of
the referendum, the law of suffrage
was completely changed for the better.
Before that year the suffrage was re¬
stricted to 140,000 votes. By the use
of the referendum the people forced
the enactment of a reformed law in
creasing it to „ 1,000,00(1, „„„ an . increase of
the suffrage to over seven times the
previous franchise.
All this was accomplished because
a private canvass proved the truth of
thg fact that the whole people were
clamorous for it; and by their uncom
promising attitude they dominated the
senate, the aristocracy, the army, the
time-serving legal lights and royalty
itself. The sovereign will of the peo
Pie, interpreted by its vote, overcame
every obstacle in a country hereto the
scene of riot, bloodshed and tumultu
ous agitation.
But the existence of this powerful
agency does not mean that any and all
measures that seek legislation must he
submitted to a vote of the people, but
it does mean that the power exists, and
that when the people wish to do so
they can demand a popular vote on any
measure that they consider likely to be
hurtful, if it should become statutory.
There is no such weapon in the hands
of the people against the politicians so
peaceful as this one may be made. It
includes every reform in the circle
its grasp.

REPUBLICANS WANT A CHANCE.
They Will Show the People How to
Prosper.
“Give us republican rule for a single
decade and we will show the people
the beneficence of republican legisla¬
tion. Every man who wants work will
have it. We will restore our merchant
marine to the proper place and increase
our white, strong armed squadron so
they can command the respect of all
nations. We will show the people a
policy that is American in every fibre.”
The above are the worlds of Senator
Frye, of Maine, at a republican banquet
given at Bridgeport, Conn.
Shades of the departed! Only give
’em a chance! Only want a single dec¬
ade now! What nerve the senator has,
and ho had it with him at that banquet!
This may be styled the sublimate of
gall—armor-plated cheek, minus blow
holes!
Only been out of power a little more
than two years when they had had
thirty years of rule, during which time
the republicans came as near sending
the country to the devil as it was pos¬
sible for them to do, and since the dem¬
ocrats took hold the republicans have
aided them in every species of vicious
legislation suggested.
During the thirty years of republican
control the curse of monopolistic rule
was fastened upon the country. Trusts
and combines have grown up and flour¬
ished as never before in the history
of any nation; class legislation has
been the rule, and so deeply is plutoc¬
racy entrenched that even conservative
men are free to predict revolution as
a means of freeing the people.
The causes that have brought the
country to where it is today—chief of
which is the present financial policy—
originated with the republican party,
which was aided and abetted by the
democratic party.
The present democratic administra¬
tion has not deviated one iota from
the policy of its republican predeces¬
sors, and yet we are now told that if
the republicans are given another
chance they will bring prospeity to the
county.
Why didn’t they do it when they had
a chance of thirty years’ duration?
Senator Frye asks for a decade—only
wants ten years to undo what it took
thirty years to build up. That’s too
long. Give the populists control of this
government and they will cleanse the
Augean stables in less than one year,
and bring relief to the people inside of
sixty days after congress convenes.
The republican party and the dem
ocatic party have both been weighed
in the balance and found wanting.
Democracy is dead and republicanism
will soon follow. There will be no
more chances for either one of these
old parties, as the people are too thor¬
oughly aroused to place any confidence
in them. Their records of venality and
hypocrisy are so black and damnable
that they cannot longer deceive the
LETTING Out the cat.
The Main Object Is to Carry British
Favor.
The practice of letting the cat out
of the bag is one more honored in the
breach than in the observance. For
all that, it is almost an involuntary
process. A subsidized Wall street or¬
gan printed this sentence last week:
“The victory in Ohio of the sound
money men will do more to reassure
nervous people than anything, Eng
land is awaking to the fact that the
States sound’ - money
United are on a
basis, and once again there is a good
inquiry, not only for United States
government bonds, but likewise for our
railroad securities.”
It seems then, that our state cam¬
paigns this year are being carried on
with a wary eye to Lombard street and
the Rothschilds. The fact that there
is a good demand for our railroad se¬
curities is a good thing for the rail¬
roads, and since that demand depends
entirely upon our thralldom in gold
monometallism, the railroad power is
all against silver. As a further proof
of this consider last week’s announce¬
ment of the Monetary Trust;
“It may be the skeptical British mind
will realize that silver lunacy in the
United States has .lost its lustre, and
that this country, after all, is the best
place for British money. It may he the
large professional operators of London,
