1876 AD
We know this because the villain's plan during the main action revolves around the celebration of the United States of American founding centennial anniversary.
1776 + 100 = 1876.
The real-world United States of America President Ulysses S. Grant makes an appearance during his time in office as president, which lasted from March of 1869 AD to March of 1877 AD.
Additionally, there are multiple flashbacks that take place 6 years previous to the main action of the story. We know this because Quentin Turnbull says, "I hear them, Mr. Lusk, because I've heard them for six long years." when referring to his feelings since the events of the prologue. That puts it in 1870 AD.
1876 - 6 = 1870.
Other flashback are specified as taking place during the American Civil War, which lasted from 1861 AD to 1865 AD but are otherwise unplaceable.
