The sound of bis name is the signal
for dark cloud on the forehead like a
storm of condemnation. 1t is shown
to everybody at a glance just what he

he took the Government contracts,
filled his pockets, and now he is owner
OF $20,O3O,000. He owns iron mines

fleets OF ships on the lakes, and is
transporting coal up and iron down

fight in his war against the laborel
was with the Sailors or Seamen's
