London where he accumulated a
fortune variously estimated a t
from twelve to fifteeri millions of
dollars .a great fortune for that
day. He found that the bankers
and brokers of London charged ten
percent to carry merchants selling
to Americans.. They kept alive old
animosities, claiming that Ameri

likely at any time to break out into
rebellion ana repudiate their obliga

rate of interest nnd perpetuate
their practice.

It was the Peabody influence that
saved us much during Reconstruc

by Harrisson and others. Barns
Sears, the Agent of the Fund, tho
from Massachusetts, was accused
of heing “one of the veriest dough

through Sears that forced Ben But
