CANTON. O., March 26.-In the face
Of sharp. cold wind that brought
shivers to the frames of well-clad peo-
pie, Coxey's army marched eight miles
yesterday on the road to Washington.
There were a few less than hundred
Of them. Not to exceed a dozen had
overcoats or gloves They had slept
the night before on pallets of straw in
the airy and cherries circus tent. and
they were greeted yesterday morning
by the disagreeable discovery that no
detailed arrangements had been made
for feeding them. Several hundred per-
sons watched their departure from Mas
sillon. About 5000 persons assembled
at the temporary camp at Reedurban
and a host greeted the crusaders at
Canton. A heavy snow storm set in be-
fore the details of the camp had been
completed and the ;rampers were hud.
dled around roaring camp fires About
two-thirds of the men enlisted made
the trip
One group of five men ran away in a
body after breakfast and boarded o
passing freight train. Thirty of the
commOnwealers spent the night as
dodgers at the Massillon police station.
They comprised two entire groups, who
could not be found when they were
needed for picket duty. They were on
hand for breakfast At o'clock Mar.
shall Louis Smith summoned the men
to come together and they were found
to number eleven groups. They We're
organized into commune. Smith
drilled them on the meadows for half
an hour. He has added several formal.
tiles Of military discipline to the rules
Of the cOmmOnweal One of them is
the plan of having them march in files
Of two and more surprising innova-
ton is the adoption OF military salutes
Two hours before the time for de-
parture the tents were pulled down
and preparations made for the trip.
Outsiders were directed to leave the
field and await the cOmmOnweal on the
main streets of the town. Camp
wagons and saddle horses were brought
in from CoXiana, and the soldiers had
a buSy time of it. A diversion was
caused by bulletin from CoXiana an
nOuncing that a steamer loaded with
recruits had just passed that point
laden with recruits from Canton. The
steamer made the trip of nine miles in
two and half hours. but only few
men from Canton were enrolled.

In the manufactures the great staples,
meats and flours, take an easy lead in
the total value of the product. The
meat-paci<ing establishments are con-
sidered separately. but if to the valua-
ton of their product is added that of
the wholesale Strengthening, for which
separate statistics have been obtained.
the value of the meat product exceeds
that of the bread product nearly $780,
600, 600. The value of the flour and
grist mill product in 1890 was shown to
be s5!3,971.416 Wholesale slaughter
ing and meat packing is S433. 2252. SIS,
and the wholesale Strengthening not in
cluded in the packing house reports,

In addition to this meat product
must be added refined lards at So, 474,-

for which have been separately OBJ

In.the total value of the manufact-
ured product, the industries which so

Estimates on the Amount the New Tariff
i:iil Will Yieid-Probably an Excess.
WAsHINGTON, March 22.-The est
mates of the amount of revenue which
the tariff bill reported to the senate
Tuesday will probably yield show that
the total amount will be about S3Sl.-
600, 600. This is reduction of between
S13, OOO, 900 and Sill, 600. O0o from the esti-
mates in the first bill reported to the
committee. The principal reduction
is made in the internal revenue
part of the bill, through the
restoration of the present tax
rates on cigars and cigarettes which
amounts to loss of over so, 900, 600
There will also be an appreciable fall
ing off of the duty on tin plate caused
by changing the duty on that impOrta
ton from 1 lis cents to 1 cent per
pound. The change in the fruit sched-
ule, whereby bananas, pineapples and
cocoanuts are taken from the dutia bic
list. will make up the other principal
items of loss. Bananas are imported
in large quantities. and the imposition
of a duty of = cents per pound, as first
imposed by the committee. would have
produced revenue of 81, O12. 23G
The committee found, upon investi-
CATION. however, that the bill would
produce more revenue than would be
needed and as bananas are not pro-
duced in this country outside of small
section on the Gulf of Mexico, it was
decided to restore them to the free list
AS the bill stands. if the estimate Is
correct. it will produce at least $50 000.
900 more of revenue than will be
needed. The change made in the
sugar schedule will not cause show
ing in the estimates different from the
subcommittee bill, as the first esti-
MAZE was made upon sugar testing 30
deg. fine
The estimate for the present bill will
probably be upon the same grade OF
sugar. There would. however be
slight difference in actual returns, as
the maximum duty rate under the
present bill is 1.3s1S per pound as
against l. 40 on the subcommittee bill
The difference on this score would be
controlled entirely by the quantity {
high grade sugar imported
