Show JEWISH ABILITY THIS issue contains an interesting paper upon the jews in america its purpose ia a to show that that race has contributed in no small degree to the development of national greatness by the exercise of striking ability in public affairs the writer of the communication gives indisputable proof of the correctness of his position by the citation of a number of notable instances i ns of men of hebrew blood who have rendered marked and efficient public service and the list he presents present is but small with that which might be exhibited not only is the idea conveyed with regard to america correct but it is just as true in relation to every civilized nation on earth the ability of the jews in the field of public fl finance nance has been TO extraordinary as to be phenomenal and an examination of the personnel of departments in that line in the leading govern mento meats reveals the fact that men of that race have practically manipulated the monetary affairs of many countries to a large degree in modern times we recollect reading a few years ago a carefully prepared statement of facts in that regard and the number of jewish names that appeared prominently connected with public finance in various countries was very striking so far as the general business affairs of the world are concerned outside of purely public matters the jews eclipse the men of all other races for ability in the various avenues of trade the proofs of the correctness of this position are so patent that it is only necessary to make a statement of the fact this peculiar ability has contributed to the intensity of the aversion in which they are held in many countries tt it arouses jealousy an instance of this nature occurred only a few daya ago in a town in ore of the southern hern states the regular dispatches conveying the information that a couple of jewish business establishments haj had bem been A wreck wrecked d by a mob A flu subsequent bw telegram spited

ateo also had much to do with it even lift in this country prescriptive ati ve social measures have been applied to them but in all that kind of business bu especially such acts as that detailed in the dispatches a few days kinoe 7 america had better yield a complete to such semi civilized us nations as russia finance is of course a department of statesmanship and one of great importance but it is not only in this line it ne of public business that many jews have been act n distinguished some have shown eminent ability in state affairs in general one of the most notable instances was the late lord one of the greatest among england galaxy of great statesmen he frequently manifested in his public career the prophetic sight for which the hebrew race lias has been noted from the beginning he was an intensely practical political prophet always making it a point to work toward the fulfillment fulfilment of his own predictions he was a statesman with a policy clearly defined from which he hardly ever deviated while at the head of the government as premier while intensely english in one sense tile honor bonor and pru eminence of the british empire being ills his hobby his jewish instincts and sympathies cropped L out whenever 0 occasion decast 0 n ca called I 1 I 1 ad tb them em forth this tea tendency nov w was in the famous treaty of berlin of which he might properly be called tile the author it provides for equal political rights of jewish citizens in the principalities of eastern europe which had heretofore been denied thew then notwithstanding their ability the jews are not loved by the world as a whole in every part of the globe not excluding free america they are regarded with more or less aversion no amount of profession to the contrary can successfully cover up this fact they are not homogeneous with the rest of the world but essentially a distinctive people this condition alone would cause enmity to exist toward them but they are wealthy and that fact of itself renders them influential there is one people however who have none of the prejudices and an anapa mathies commonly existing toward them that people are the latter day saints it is is even a part of their fe religion ligion to cherish for the hebrew race a feeling the opposite of aversion they expect great things of them in this generation aut ut there is not space in this article to give the reasons for this bisti distinctive neti ve P position 00 of the latter day saints regarding as arding the remnants of the ancient people of god the fact lots it is not appreciated by the jews 4 but the time will come when it will be properly estimated by them as a people it is a matter of regret always when any of the hebrews join in with the popular howl against the saints they know not what they are doing when they join in the perpetration pet ration of wrongs upon a people friendly to them inflicting upon others those things of which they thein themselves selves as a race have been the victims forages for ages and of which they have had just cause for complaint |
