NINTH—a supply of ready money will be kept on hand at all times by the government in sufficient quantities to meet all trade requirements so that industry cannot be held up for the want of it under any circumstances.
TENTH—paper money will be used most extensively as the trade convenience, although copper, nickel and silver will be used for small coinage. Paper money is most convenient for handling purposes as well as being the least expensive and quickest to make.
ELEVENTH—as security for its money the people will pledge the entire wealth of their country, which will give it a backing equal to its utilization.”
 As soon as Direct Credits for Everybody becomes a law the government will issue new money in sufficient quantities to meet all trade requirements and loan it to the people without interest.
 All old money will be traded in for the new money within a given period of. time at its face rate.

 However, by abolishing interest and giving Capital and Labor a free hand to create wealth abundantly through the utilization of the Lawson Money System, made lawful and supervised by the people’s trustees in Con­gress, will give the people another chance to demonstrate their ability to manage themselves under honest rules.
