To anyone reading DetroitThrow's comment. Madison's own words delineate what he thought of property.:

" That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest."

and Madison's closing words:

If the United States mean to obtain or deserve the full praise due to wise and just governments, they will equally respect the rights of property, and the property in rights: they will rival the government that most sacredly guards the former; and by repelling its example in violating the latter, will make themselves a pattern to that and all other governments.

~ Madison on Property

Madison viewed a just government as protector of private property.
