Anybody that reads at all has read of the House of Rothschilds, the great and wealthy bankers Of the world. The Barâ€" iugs at London, the Hopes at Amsterdam, the Siemens at. Berlin, the Stcigletzcs at St. Petersburg, have undoubtedly estabâ€" lished great reputation as financiers and bankers ; but all of them combined fall far short of the wealth and monetary influâ€" ence of the Rothschilds. Popular wit generally hits the truth ; and some years ago a conundrum was current in Europe to the following purport: that is the difl'erence between the Ante-Christian era and modern times? The answer was very pointed and ran as follows : In Auto- Christian times, all the Jews had but one king; new all the kings have but one J ewâ€"Rothschild. An undeniable fact it is, that in 1841, when all the orscnels of Europe were wringing with prepara. tions for war against France, and legion after legion was marching toward the Rhino, France trying, under little, sprightly and mercurial Thiers, then Prime Minister of King Louis Phillippc, to acquire a portion of the coveted Rhine Frontier, and all Germany uniting to reâ€" sist it, there was a great panic in the Exchange at Frankfort on the Main, and this grew in intensity until one day Roths- askcd his Opinion of the prospects of peace or war, quietly replied that there would and could be no war, as he would give the fools no money to carry it on. And, sure enough, two weeks otter that, all the armies were withdrawn and the adventurous Theirs was kicked out. of Of the French Cabinet. True, the power of the Rothschilds by tightening or open- ing their purse-strings to influence the policy of States, has been greatly weaken- ed since the accession to power of Napo- leon III the present French Emperor, and the introduction Of his system of popular leans. But to a large extent, these Bankers still held sway over the public credit of many nations and may control the money market of the world. And all this wealth and financial power has been accumulated in the course of a single lifetime and only since 1780. The greatgrandfather of the present Rothschilds was Amscl Moses Roths- child a money changer Of very moderate circumstanceb, at Frankfort. Germany being in those days divided into more than a hundred different sovereign prinâ€" cipalities and each coining,r its own money of different standard, value and name from the rest, money changing at Frankâ€" fort, the central mart Of the country, was a brisk trade, though not over lucra- tive. Tire oldest son, Maicr Amscl Rothschild, who afterward became the the founder of the great Banking House, was employed by his father to carry bugs with gold from banker to banker, and ex- change the gold for small silver coins. This employment in his youth was after- It gave him a correct knowledge of the monetary system of each State in Europe of the exact value of their coinage ; chance also Often placed rare coins in his hands, and his financial turn of mind soon found a copious yield for himself by being a gathercr for munismaticians. Shortly after, however, his father sent Meier Amscl t0 the Jewish Seminary at Fuerth,where for it year or two he studied Jewish theology. being destined for the position of a Rabbi. But be tired of the dry study of the Talmud and its still drier commentators and returned to the occupation for which he was by nature most fittedâ€"t0 trade and finance. He went to Hanover and entered the Bank- ing; House at Oppenheim, at first as clerk. Whether he did so with the knowledge of his father or against his will, that is, ran away from Fucrtb, is not very cer- tain and may be left altogether to conjec- ture. So much however is fact, that his employment at Hanover lasted for sove- ral years and became a proximate cause of his subsequent unparalleled success. As Clerk be proved himself not only , highly intelligent and well educated, but- more than commonly sharp, keen and careful in all business transactions, so much so that many of the most importâ€" ant financial Operations were entrusted to1 him entirely. VVhlle so employed he be- came acquainted with General Estefi', a; large landed proprietor, w..ose financial concerns were left to the management of perity. as we shall presently sec.

Ilis gains must have been considerable at this business, for shortly after 1770 Ire began trade as a regular banker. He married about that time a native of Frankfort, Gutter Scnap- per, who died as late as 1849, and had the pleasure of seeing with her own eyes the rise to unlookedfor eminence Of the house of Which she was one Of the feud ders. About the your 1780, Maicr Amsol and his wife purchased and moved into the house known as ‘ the Green Shield,7 and there both continued to live to their death. The house is new, by a testamen- tary provision Of the grandmother of the present Rothschild, devoted exclusively to charitable purposes, and one and a half million of florius (six hundred thou- sand dollars) have been set apart and funded to support the institution. From the description we have already given of grandfather Meier Amscl Roths- child, his clear-sightedness and business tact, it may be imagined that he must have bud unusual succcs in his Opera- tions. Moreover the disturbed condition OfEurOpc greatly aided him. The French Revolution of 1789, with its subsequent years of carnage, bloody wars and violent conquests, surged its mighty billows over the whole western continent, and many persons of rank and means, many French refugees, trusting to the reputed honesty and sagacity of the Jew Banker at. Frank- fort, placed their money and valuables in his possession, by him to be invested, the proceeds to be collected through him and paid over to them. lVith a clear cyc he seemed prophetically to forscc that the rock bound isle of Britain would be the only safe placeâ€"~-weuld probably be the only spot where the engulfing waves of the revolutionary upheaval could not reachâ€"and hither he sent all the wealth entrusted to his safe keeping. In the exe- cution of the many trusts he was so cir- cumspect in his payments, so punctual even to punctiliousncss, that this branch of his business soon assumed an enormous action in that capital, then the centre of all combinations against the increasing power of the French Republic. He there- fore, in that your opened a banking house at London himself, both that and his bank at Frankfort being under his own control. It was about this time tlrathis- tort; or fable, we will not venture to say which, attributes to him the invention or discovery of carrier pigeons. Finding direct communication by the regular post â€"and even by swift special messengersâ€"- to slow, and this slow coach Of the mail often interrupted by opposing armies or predatory hands. he is said to have hit upon the idea of keeping up his correspon- dence between London, Frankfort and his agents and correspondents at other cities, by placing short letters in cyphcr under the wings of trained pigeons and bidding them fly to their well-known home He thus outstripped all means then known for conveying intelligence by days and Often by weeks, which advantage in those times of rapidly changingr circumstances, At principality. And further, that this was the first time that Rothschild, W110 hitherto lrrtd confined himself to doing business with the nobility and the mer- chants, traders and capitalists, now enter- ed into direct connection with one Of the ruling sovereigns Of Europe 31s the recogâ€" tnised fiscal agent. this government. This. furnished him not only with additional capital capital for his undertaking, but it gave him also on eminence and a prestige which none knew better than how to cmâ€" ploy. Thus he was enabled, in 1804., to contract with the Danish govcrmncnt for entire loan of ten million of Rix Thulers, with the permission of the Landgruve to use his funds, then in Rothschild’s hands; for that purpose. But in 1806 another event happenedâ€"~â€" the war between France and Prussiaâ€"â€" which at once established the pro-0min. once of the banking house of Rothschild in Europe. Tire 'Laudgravc of Hesse was a friend of the King Of Prussia, and therefore an enemy Of Napoleon. The battle of J one had for that time scaled the fate of the kingdom Of Prussia. and of its allies, and the kingdom of ‘Wcsb phalia, ofwhiclr Hesse Cassel formed a part, Was to be established. Landgrave lVillium fled; but. before his flight, in order to secure his enormous treasure, be caused it to be clundestincly transferred to Frankfort, and it was there left in the vaults of Rothschild for safe keeping.â€" Napolcon’s power was then at its highest ; Rothschild toured for the safety of the millions left with him, and he succeeded by dcxlcrous nranagcnrcnt, in carrying it all over to London, where it remained untouched for two years. In the your 18Q8 the British Govermncnt desired to engage a trusty agent to furnish to the English army in Spain, periodically, the amount of money necessary for its main- tenancc, to be repaid, at. intervals, with n handsome commission in London. The security which the government demandâ€" ed wus, however, so large; the dangers incident to the proposed serviceâ€"partly from the cruisers, partly from the armies. of the Frenchâ€"so great. ; and, moreover, the steady success of N apoleonzhad Great- ,7 n“? , even the Bank of England, would underâ€" take it. Then Rothschild stepped for~ ward and made his own conditions unâ€" der which he would serve the British government. With the assent of the Landgrave Of Ilcssc, then a fugitive at Vienna, he was enabled with this Prince’s accumulated treasure, not only to Oifer the required security, but to make the necessary payments in Spain at once, and also, on his own terms, to sucmur with ready money the Portuguese and Spaniards, fighting by the side Of the dritish'flag against. the invaders. It has been conceded in England itself that the victories of Wellington in Spain and the first truly damaging blow struck at Noâ€" poleon’s supremacy in Europe were alâ€" most as much due to Rothschild’s money as to the perseverance and heroism Of the Spaniards and the valor and constancy of the British. As Rothschild continued in this service for the English till his death, in 1812, and had the use of the Landgravc’s many millions merely for Where a do ”s .bttlrblc decided the fate of r their safe kcc win" duritr all that time, 3 l n q a kingdom, at man of his stump would certainly know how to use. And he did use it. His name as the shrcwdcst finanâ€" cierâ€"fits one gifted with almost super- natural prophetic forcsightwsoen became known all over Europe. And new hap- pened an occurrence which added to his reputation the means to raise him to the front rank of all the banking firms in the world. In 1801, the Landgravc Of Hesse, Wil~ liam IX., was looking about for a new fiscal ugentifor his treasury. His friend, General Esterff, at once bcthought him- self of the young clerk with whom he had Often come in contact, Of whom already then, when still :1 clerk at» Hanover, he had formed a high Opinion, and who had justified that Opinion by his subsequent success as it financier. General I‘lstorfl proposed Meier Amscl Rothschild. A messenger was sent to Frankfort, and Rothschild summoned to Casscl into the presence Of the Lundgravc. VVlrcu the banker arrived and was ushered into the Landgruvc’s presence, the latter was play- ing a game of chess with the General,and was so deeply interested in the game that he did not. notice the stranger. As the genre proceeded and the General was gaining in pieces and itr position over His Highness; the Londgrave became irritated and looked up, when he observ- ed the stronger. ‘ Who is be ?’ inquired the Landgrave. The General looked around and ob- serving Rothschild, who silently bowed, said : ‘ This is Rothschild, the Frankfort banker, whom I recommend to your Highness for fiscal agent.’ The Landgrztve, however was so much taken up with his game and the impend» ing loss of it, that he inquired of the banker : ‘ DO you understand chess ?’ ‘ Yes, Your Highness,’answercd Roths- child. "l‘hen step up here and look at my game,’ bluntly ordered the Landgravc. the Banker Oppenheim at Hanover. it may be imagined what tremendous profit he must have coined out, of it. Look at our own NttbObS, wire from com- parative poverty rose to be Princcs in wealth during our own war, and you may make an approximate estimate.
