Charles James Folger (April 16, 1818 – September 4, 1884) was an American lawyer and politician. A member of the Republican Party, he was a State Senator in New York from 1862 to 1869 and served as the 34th U.S. Secretary of the Treasury from November 14th, 1881 until his death in 1884.
Appointed Secretary of the Treasury in 1881 by President Chester A. Arthur, Charles J. Folger (1818 - 1884) presided over the greatest surplus the Government had ever had.
After working as a lawyer and judge, Folger began a political career in 1861 when he was elected as a Republican to the New York State Senate. Following the Civil War, Folger became a figure in the conservative and often corrupt machine-driven Stalwart wing of the Republican Party.
In 1881, he resigned to become President Chester A. Arthur’s Secretary of the Treasury. During his tenure on the Court of Appeals – spanning 11 years and 40 volumes of New York Reports – Judge Folger was known among his colleagues for his careful preparation, sharp intellect and solid judgment.
Henry Clay Folger Jr. (June 18, 1857 – June 11, 1930) was president and later chairman of Standard Oil of New York, a collector of Shakespeareana, and founder of the Folger Shakespeare Library.
