OUItilIWOF THE
gariitiicillizeS
In the centre of the ancient city of
Frankfort -on -the -Maine was a nar-
row wretched looking lane, flanked by
tall, dark dirty houses, with dirty
windows and dirtier doors. This
miseralble lane was known as the
Juden-gasse (Jew -lane.) It was
guarded at either end by heavy chains
which were fastened every evening,
as well as on all Sundays, holidays,
and festivals of the church, and when
the chains were fastened te wretched
inhabitants dared not stir out on pen-
alty of death. No Jew was allowed
to live beyond the boundary of the
Juden-gasse; room for the increasing
population was found by making the
crowded buildings higher or digging
dark tenements underground.
In these miserable surroundings, in
the year -1743, was born Meyer
Amschel, the founder of the great
banking house of Rothschild. He
lost both his parents at the age of
eleven, and had to fight his way
through life single-handed. After
having been to school fur a few years
he walked on foot to the city of Zane
over, where he became clerk to
small banker and money -changer. By
parsimonious economy he managed to
save a small capital with which he
returned to. Frankfort at the age of
29. He now married and started
business as a broker, money -lender,
and dealer in old coins. Among his
customers was a small German poten-
tate, the Landgrave William of Hesse.
Landgrave William had often occas-
ion to dispose of solid family jewels
for cash, or to borrow small sums to'
satisfy pressing creditors. When the
French troops marched upon Frank-
fort in 1796, Meyer Amschel placed
his property under the shelter of
William's castle. During the bom-
bardment of the city the Juden-gasse
was knocked to pieces, and the in-
habitants crawled from the ruins
begging shelter of their Christian
brethren. The Christians were far
from sympathetic, but fortunately for
the Jews some of the rulers of the
city, who were heavily in their debt,
secured permission for them to buy
and lease houses outside the Juden-
gasse. Meyer Amsdtel was one of
the Jews to take advantage of this
concession and henceforth his sign
the Shield c Red (German—Rothschild;
hung in line with the signs of the
leading money -changers of the city.
In 1806, William of Hesse was driv-
en from his states by Napoleon. In
his great haste he was compelled to
leave his money in the hands of
Meyer Amschel, his banker. Meyer
Amschel, finding himself in posses-
sion of a sum amounting to some
three millions of florins, all in good
coin of the realm, was not slow to
turn the situation to advantage. In
time of war, money was worth twelve
or even twenty per cent. on good'se-
curity, and many were 'the freeholds
that went mortgaged into the shop
of the Red Shield, often for less than
one-third their value, never to be re-
deemed again. In about six years
the Jewish banker had quadrupled his
capital
When the bottle of Leipzig restor-
ed William of Hesse to his posses-
sions, the eldest son of Meyer Am-
schel presented himself at court, and
handed over the three million florins.
Landgrave William, who had never
expected to see his money again,
knighted the young Rothschild on the
spot, The fame of the house of
Rothschild reached the ears of other
rulers, and the crowned heads of
Europe vied with one another in
their eagerness to entrust their sav-
ings to the bankers of the Red Shield.
The Rothschilds, on their part, were
quite willing to accept the money on
the same terms as that of the Land -
grave --that is without interest.
When Meyer Amschel died he left
ten children, five sons and five daugh-
ters. By the will of their father
the five sons entered into copartner-
ship. Anselm, the eldest, was to be
head of the firm, but Nathan was the
real chief of the house. In his eag-
ern,ess to make money Nathan left
home at the early age of twenty-two
and opened a small shop a's banker
and money lender in Manchester. He
left Frankport with £84 in his pock-
et. In five years he moved from
'Manchester to London, worth £200,-
000.
Nathan now engaged largely in
speculations in the public funds, his
great shrewdness, and almost intui-
tive perception in judging the state
of the money market, enabling him
at all times to realize vast profits.
In 1810, during the period when the
fortunes of the Peninsular war seem-
ed most -doubtful, some drafts of
Wellington's amounting to a large
sum came over to England, and there
was no money to meet them. Nathan
purchased the bilis at a considerable
discount, and then furnished the gov-
ernment with the mohey to redeem
them at par. Henceforth the ministry
entered into frequent and intimate
relations with the new Hebrew bank-
er. He used this connection to Ob-
tain first-hand information as to the
progress of the war, which informa-
tion he was not slow to turn to pe-
cuniary advantage. He also employ-
ed agents to follow in the wake of the
armies, who would send him daily re-
ports in cipher hidden under the wings
of carrier pidgeons. Embarking deep..
or and deeper in speculations on the ,
success of the English arms, Nathan
often got dissatified with the speed
of his winged messengers, and on
more than one occasion hurried over
to the continent himself to watch the
progress of operations.
On the morning of the 18th of June,
1815,
Nathan an R
othschild rode on a
quiet horse close to the village of
Waterloo. All clay long he watched
the progress of the battle from the
hill of Hougoumont. From noon till
six at night the whole field was en-
veloped in smake; when it blew off,
the troops of the French Emperor
were seen in retreat. Nathan per-
ceived at a glance that the great bat-
tle of Waterloo was won. Without
losing a moment he spurred his horse
and rode off to Brussels, Here a
carriage was ready to carry him to
Ostend. At the break of day on the
19th of June Nathan Rothschild found
himself at the coast opposite to Eng-

U. S. PROHIBITION AFTER TWO
YEA RS.
Mr. Samuel Hopkins Adams, the
well known American writer, has
been communicating to Collier's some
of the results of prohibition as they
have presented themselves to him in
his wanderings up and down his coun-
try. Mr. Adams writes dispassionate-
ly and does not :betray his personal
attitude toward a,pr,thibition. His main
conclusion is bhbt. the question of
prohibition has been swallowed up in
a larger question of immensely great-
er importance to the American nu.
tion. The question is: Will the
United States continue to be a law-
abiding country? Prohibition is the
law of the land and whether a citi-
zen is for prohibition or against it,
if he is a good citizen he will obey
the law. Says Mr. Adams:
"If New Jersey is to practice reas-
onable interpretation of alcoholic law-
lessness, why not of arson? If New
York, by liberal enforcement, is going
to permit A and B to take a drink
when they want it, why should it not
exhibit an equally charitable attitude
toward X who desires to mount a
soap box and demand the immediate
overthrow of the Constitution; Mrs.
Y, who aspires to maintain the prin-
ciple of personal liberty by walking
up Fifth Avenue in a pink nightie,
and Z, whose frustrated ambition is
to introduce into general circulation
five -dollar bills of his own „come man-
ufacture?
It is easy to answer the questions,
but it is not easy to show that the

which, after al!, la the foundation of I
law. We know that murders in the •
Southern States, where the victims
are negroes suspected of offences a
gaiest white women, and where the
murders are called lynchings, are not
regarded as of, the same seriousness
as the murder of a white woman by
a negro, or the murder of one white
man by another in the north, or, in-
deed, in any part of the United States.
The fact is not to be justified, but it
is a fact.
Prohibition, according to Mr. Ad-
ams, has made millions of new law-
breakers in the United States, many
of them belonging to what they would
call the "better classes." He says
that if the prohibitionists number
two-thirds of the population, and not
more has been claimed for them, the
question to be settled is whether two
men can permanently impose their
will on a third in a matter of personal,
habits, if he is resolved to defy the
will whenever an occasion presents
itself. Prohibition has been theoreti-
cally in force for two years, but for
many years it must remain an experi-
ment. There never was a law like it
before. There never was a law affect-.
ing the personal habits of millions of
people passed by two-thirds of the
population. Some believe it never
can be made to work. Even prohi-
bitionists who may partly agree that
this is so, can point to some certain
benefits, and Mr. Adams supports
them.
There can be no question, he says,
that the total consumption of liquor
is much less than it was before there
was prohibition. There is less public
drunkenness, chiefly because the sa-
loon is practically extinct. While it
is possible, as he says, for anyone who
wants a drink to get one, the constant
temptation of the swinging doors of
the corner saloon has ceased to exist.
Saloons no longer flaunt themselves.
Men do not reel out of their doors.
The reason is that the salopn does
not desire to advertise itself more
than is absolutely necessary. The
saloons can no longer serve as many
customers as they did in the old
days, 'because they have to use some
caution, and therefore they are oblig-
ed to double- and quadruple the old
prices. This in itself is a sort of pro-
hibition. It must affect tens of thous-
ands of persons who used to drink
because they liked to drink and could
afford it, but who do not drink now
because they cannot afford it.
The impression Mr. Adams has of
the large cities is that the police are
indifferent to the law, and there are
not enough Federal officers to enforce
it. Chicago wants saloons and,there-
fore, Chicago has them. Not long
ago, he says, the Chicago police per-
petrated one of the subtlest jokes of
the age when they raided a fashion-
able restaurant, and out of all the
alcoholic revellers selected for arrest
a professed anarchist, probably the
only person' present whose contempt
for the law ,,vas genuine and inherent.
It added nothing to the unintentional
humor of the performance that he
happened to be drinking vicfiy at the
time. The law has not changed the
habits of farmers, who vote prohibi-
tion as a rule, but continue to make
their own hard cider. There are more
cases of alcoholism in the hospitals
than before, and this, in the view of
Mir, Adams, is probably the result
of more home drunkenness. These
are some of the results to date, and
they cannot be wholly satisfactory to
any considerable element of the com-
munity.
