FROM COMMODITIES TO THE CARIBBEAN. REQUESTS GOVERNMENT PROTECTION. CITES ROBBERIES.

Leviticus Cornwall is a well-known expansionist. "A railroad into every expanse of this country is only a matter of time," he declared when launching the Cornwall Southern & Eastern Railways. He builds the trains, and uses them to ship goods for Cornwall Freight & Commodities, Cornwall Kerosene & Tar and his other business concerns. His sugar business reaches into the Caribbean, and not a week goes by without a ship ferrying Cornwall Sugar calling into America.

He is now calling for government support to bring protection to industries working to improve conditions in the west, after a string of robberies. Mr. Cornwall, who has been known to speak glibly about the evil effects of education upon certain kinds of lesser intellects, is one of the wealthiest men in the region, and requires numerous private guards to protect his person and multiple concerns.

Despite questionable accounts of poor conditions at plantations run by Cornwall employees, his goods flow throughout much of the United States, and Congress has so far shown little appetite for breaking up what many people call a regional monopoly of services. Alongside his private militia, he is believed to be one of the principal clients of the Pinkerton Agency in the region.
