First Edition of this account of the first significant protest march on Washington, D.C., which took place in 1894. The unemployed workers, led by Ohio businessman Jacob Coxey and known as Coxey's army, were protesting the unemployment caused by the Panic of 1893, which initiated the worst depression seen in the United States up until that time. They demanded government action to create jobs through the building of roads and other public works, with workers to be paid in paper currency. The western contingents of the army included many unemployed railway workers, 500 of whom, led by William Hogan, commandeered a Northern Pacific Railway train for their trek to Washington - they were apprehended in Forsyth, Montana.

A nice copy in original blind-stamped cloth, recased preserving endleaves (paper spine label rubbed, slight fraying to lower spine & corners, occasional light foxing, inner front hinge cracked). Inscribed from the Author. First Edition. A detailed examination of the social state and political economy of England and America, with discussion of free trade, slavery and emigration. Included is an elaboration of Wakefield's theory of systematic colonization (a method of planned emigration combined with the sale of crown lands), particularly in relation to Australia and Canada. His persistent efforts led to the establishment of successful settlements based on his theory in South Australia and New Zealand. Wakefield also played a significant role in Canadian political history. In 1838, he accompanied Lord Durham to Canada as his unofficial adviser, and the celebrated Durham Report, though drawn up by Charles Buller, embodied in slightly modified form, Wakefield's theories of colonial self- government and land settlement.
