* "The [[Rothschilds]] are the wonders of modern [[banking]] ... we see the descendants of [[Judah]], after a persecution of two thousand years, peering above [[king]]s, rising higher than [[emperor]]s, and holding a whole continent in the hollow of their hands. The Rothschilds govern a [[Christian]] world. Not a cabinet moves without their advice. They stretch their hand, with equal ease, from [[Saint Petersburg|Petersburgh]] to [[Vienna]], from Vienna to [[Paris]], from Paris to [[London]], from London to [[Washington]]. Baron Rothschild, the head of the house, is the true king of Judah, the prince of the captivity, the [[Messiah]] so long looked for by this extraordinary people. He holds the keys of peace or [[war]], blessing or cursing. ... They are the brokers and counselors of the kings of [[Europe]] and of the [[republican]] chiefs of [[America]].
