Sherman (1823-1900) served as Ohio Congressman from 1855 to 1861
and U.S. Senator from 1861 to1877, when he became Secretary of the
Treasury under President Hayes (1877-1881). He was then elected U.S.

served from 1881 to 1897. Sherman was McKinley's Secretary of State from
1897 to 1898, resigning because of ill health the day Congress declared war on
Spain. His name will forever be remembered as the author of the Sherman

giant business monopolies. He was the younger brother of Union General
William Tecumseh Sherman. Lightly foxed. Light 2½-inch vertical crease near
