The American reformer and eccentric Jacob Sechler Coxey (1854-1951) was a well-to-do businessman who, distressed by the economic depression of the 1890s and impelled by the era's reform ideas, led a march of unemployed workers to Washington, D.C., in 1894.

 Jacob Coxey
Coxey ran for a number of political offices under many different political parties all of which were unsuccessful except for a short run as Governor in Ohio.
Coxey being a wealthy man in the time of Gilded Age when it was extremely rare for a man of wealth to associate themselves with unemployed workers, fought for more opportunity for men in the work force to better society.
Jacob Coxey laid the foundation for future development in the fight against unemployment by showing the government and the people of America that unemployment was a serious problem that needed to be brought into people’s attention, a goal which he did accomplish.

 Marching on Washington: CHAPTER ONE
Coxey claimed the ceremonial spaces of the Capitol Building; it was "the property of people." In 1894, Coxey and Browne were pioneers—and unlikely ones at that.
Coxey’s new focus on his right to speak shows how the experience of the long walk to Washington, the attacks on him and his supporters, and the disparagement of their political goals had shifted his attention from legislative changes to some basic premises about how American citizens could participate in national politics.
Coxey and Browne never gave up on their fantasy of transforming the American political system with their "petition in boots." Despite the failure of their protest to win their political demands, both men continued to believe that marches on Washington belonged in the political repertoire and were constitutionally protected.

 The Newspaper Writings of Susette La Flesche A Selected Edition By Amanda L. Paige
Jacob Coxey’s Army marched on Washington in the spring of 1894 with a petition for establishment of a program of public works and for the inflation of currency.
Coxey came here, if the press was to be relied on, for the purpose of exercising the constitutional right of petitioning the senate for the redress of what he regarded as a grievance of himself and millions of American citizens in common with him.
Coxey got to the middle east steps he was told in a preemptory manner that he could not even read his petition, and the police force took him bodily and forced him from the grounds of the capitol.

 Coxey's Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coxey's Army was a protest march by unemployed workers from the United States, led by the populist Jacob Coxey.
The purpose of the march was to protest the unemployment caused by the Panic of 1893 and to lobby for the government to create jobs building roads and other public works improvements.
Coxey and other leaders of the insurrection were arrested the next day for walking on the grass of the United States Capitol, and the rest of the men scattered.

 Welcome to WorkingForChange
Marius Jacob was an anarchist, burglar, and member of "Les travailleurs de la nuit" (Workers of the Night) gang, credited with 150 burglings.
Coxey, a well-to-do businessman who was a Populist and quite untypical of his class in other ways, proposed a plan of federal work relief on public roads to be financed by an issue of Treasury notes -- thus ending the depression of 1893 by means of monetary inflation and work relief for the unemployed.
When Congress refused to pass this bill, Coxey stated, "We will send a petition to Washington with boots on." Thus Coxey's Army marched peacefully from Ohio to Washington, D.C., where they were cheered by crowds, but Coxey and his lieutenants were arrested by police and about 50 people were beaten or trampled.

The Sondre Romtvedt, Sr., family is shown here in 1897, shortly before Sondre, his wife, Aasne, and four of their nine children left Minnesota to move to the Bellamy Colony in Lincoln County, Oregon.
It is possible that Bellamy's ideas may have had an impact on William S. U'Ren, the "father of popular government." U'Ren and those who have studied him do not mention Bellamy's influence, but there are suggestions that U'Ren may have been intrigued by some of Bellamy's ideas.
