1) Summarize the First Point.
- The first point is that the union of the labor forces will be permanent and continue for forever.
- The second point is that you can only gain wealth if you work for it. Taking money without an equivalent is robbery.
- The third point is that an amendment should be created so that everyone involved in government service shall be placed under a civil-service regulation to prevent the increase of power of the national administration.
- One monetary change called for was a national currency issued by the general government. The general government would be a full legal tender for debts without using banking corporations. Another change demanded was a direct distribution to the people with a tax less than 2 per cent per year. Free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold was also demanded. A graduated income tax and an increase in circulating medium was demanded. Finally all State and national revenues would be limited to the necessary and honest expenses of the government. In addition, postal savings banks would be established by the government for safe deposit of earnings and help exchange.
