ANOTHER coxEy's ARMY

WALL STREET.
Ardmoreite Special.

Ardmoreite Special.
Sault Ste. Marie. Mich, Aug. a.
According to reports in circulation
here, General Jacob S. Coxey, who led
the famous march of the unwashed
TO Washington In the spring of 1894.
Is planning another hobo crusade with
Wall street as. the objective point.
While Coxey refuses to explain the
purpose OF the expedition. 1t is believ.

ing the government ownership of rail
roads and all monopolies. II is known
that government ownership has been
Coxey's fad for some time, and he has
often declared that the great issue of
the day is whether the railroads and
corporations are going to own the
government, or the government own
the railroads and corporations"
CoXey's first march to Washington
started as a demonstration of dlscon
tent among the unemployed after the
financial panic OF 1893. At that time
Coxey was the proprietor of q -four
ishing quarry at Massilen, o. Forced
to close down his plant and throw his
men out Of employment, he brooded
over his troubles until the idea OF
leading an army of the unemployed to
Washington occurred to him He In
tended to demand that the govern
ment furnish employment on public
improvements until the hard times
had passed. BY the time he had
reached Washington, however, his rag
ged army had dwindled to a thousand
and the project became the subject OF
ridicule.
