into the currency measure proposed by the senior member from Ohio,-the present secretary of the treasury,-and known as the Sherman bill. In addition to his presidency of the Impor- ters and Traders Bank, Mr. Buell is also a director of the Fifth Avenue Bank ; he is also president of the United States Life Insurance Company. The management of this latter institution evinces alike his characteristic energy and wisdom. He was mainly instrumental in originating and sustaining the American Bankers' Association. He is a large landholder, and has an in- terest in railroads.
The following summary is taken from the N. Y. Era, of Nov. 9, 1878 :
"James Buell is president of the Importers and Traders' Bank, which has become one of the strongest banks in the city under his management ; president of the United States Life Insurance Company, which he has strengthened in the same way : an officer and a leading spirit in the National Bankers' Association, which spreads its arms all over the United States ; a forcible and clear writer on finance ; and last, but by no means least, the possessor of a private fortune estimated at five million dollars. Mr. Buell is of medium height, stout build, pleasant face, with sharp eyes, and a reserved manner."
