The power to make money and reg
ulate the value thereof carries with it
the power to fix the value of all the
property in the nation, and to effect
It's distribution, and is therefore an es-
sential attribute of sovereignty. This
was clearly the view entertained by
the trainers of our organic law, forthe
Constitution of the United States
gives Congress absolute power over
the circulating medium of the nation,
and prohibits the States from emitting
bills of credit to circulate as money or
to make anything tender in the pay
ment Of debts except gold and silver
com, or, in other words, what Congress
shall have established as legal-ten
del.
THE RATE OF INTEREST DETERMINES THE
VALUE OF MONEY.
Money is also the standard of dis
tribltion to capital and labor. This is
its most important function, or rather
the most important principle, of a
monetary system. In the present
state of society capital and labor are
.oint partners in the production of
property and products, and the rate of
ntelest maintained on money or loan
able capital determines what proper
ton Of their joint productions shall be
awarded to capital for its use and what
to tle laborers for their services.
When the rate of interest on money or
lcantble capital is equal to the net
surplus production, over and above
what is consumed in the production,
the lborer must work for mere sub
sisteme of food, clothing, and shelter,
and when it exceeds the net annual
savings two to three fold, as it has
with Us in the past, the inevitable con-
sequence is to produce the periodical
mmetlry crises and commercial re-
vuBiols we have had in the past and
are nov experiencing. But it may be
asked low we are to ascertain what
would Ne an equitable rate of interest
ON money or producing capital?
With agriculture, which is the leading
interestand the foundation of nation
al wealth, as the basis, we can approx
innate tie rate nearly enough for all
practica purposes; for the increase in
this imortant branch of industry
may beaccepted as the true index to
the increase in all other branches of
useful Industry.
The FLOWING is an inventory of the
farms nd products of agriculture of
the naion, as per census reports for
the deades ending in the years 1850,
1860, md 1870, respectively:
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1876-02-26
Mr.. CAMPBELL said:

MIR. NAMI Sdlu
Mr.. SPEAKER, House bill No. 70,
which | introduced and which | pro-
pose shall accompany and be the basis
of the remarks | shall make on this oc-
casion, contains two distinct PROPOSE
tons:
First. The repeal of the national
banking law.
Second. The institution of the
American monetary system.
In the discussion of these subjects
in due amplitude there are certain
fundamental principles that must be
kept prominently in view, otherwise
there would be danger of mistaking
effects for causes, and of running into
errors not less injurious than those we
propose to correct or remove.
LIST. That there are but two pure
principles of government-the autocra-
tic and democratic. The former is
founded on the principle of centrali-
cation, and the latter, on that of decen-
tralization. The laws or mode of ad-
ministration adapted to the autocratic
principle mast be such as will vest all
political power in the emperor or indi-
,vidual sovereign, with the power to
control or command all the property
of the empire 50 far as may be neces-
sary for the maintenance of the gov
eminent. Under the democratic prin-
ciple, the laws or mode of admnlstra-
ton must be such as will recognize
and concede all political power as the
, right Of the whole people.
" 2nd. That the design of thefounderS
tJf the Republic was to establish a
government on the democratic princl-
pie, recognizing in the people every
essential attribute of sovereignty;
government that, while giving to the
individual citizen the largest religious
and political liberty compatible with
the good order of society, would pro-
tect all in their natural right to enjoy
the fruits of their labor and talents.
This being conceded, it follows as a
deduction of logic, as well as a doctrine
of democratic politics, that all grants
of special privileges, powers, and I'M
munities to favored individuals, class
es, or corporations are repugnant to !
the principles upon which our institu-
tons are based, and consequently !
without warrant in the fundamental
law.
propose in what | have to say to
treat these subjects in a practical,
b;iriness manner, and not from the
roker,l led scientific standpoint. The
slows and arguments | shall advance
have been gathered from observation
and experience rather than from what
others have said and written. Most,
if not all, of the works that are regard |

interest and support of the autocratic
or aristocratic principle of govern.
ment, and consequently are no guide
for us. The authorities have consul
ted most, and upon which rely for
support of the arguments | shall offer, |
are the Decalogue and Davies Arith-
metic. These are applicable alike in
all Just governments.
Weare in the close of the first cen
turv of our national existence. As We
are about to enter upon the second, 1t
would. seem to be fitting that we
should recall, review, and estimate the !
