We further hold-Tkat all property o.
wealth is the product of physical or intel
lectual labor, employed in productive indus
try and in the distribution or the prOduc
lions OF labor; that laoorers ought OF rignt
and would, under Just monetary system
receive or retain the larger proportion o
their productions; that the wrongs, oppres
sions and restitution which laborers are sui
fering in most departments OF legitimate en-
terprise and useful occupation, do not re
suit from insufficiency OF production ou
from the unfair distribution OF the product
Of labor between non-producing capital ant
labor.
That money Is the medium Of distributiol
to non-producing capital and producing
labor, the rate of interest determining wha
proportion of the products Of labor shall b
awarded to capital for it's use, and what Z
labor for its productions; that the power :
make money and regulate its value is al
essential attribute of sovereignty, the exer
: else Of which is by the Constitution of tn
United States wisely and properly granted Z
Congress, and it Is the imperative duty o
Congress to institute it upon such Wis
and Just basis that 1t shall be directly unde
the control Of the sovereign people who pro
duce the value it is designed to represent
measure and exchange, that 1t may be cor
rect and uniform standard OF value, and dis
