TRIED TO KILL VICTORIA.
Six Attempts Have Been Made on the
Queens Life


Queens Life.
Since her majesty came to the throne
she has been the subject of six attacks.
but only three of them can be described
as attempts on her life. The first attack
on the queen occurred on Constitution
Hill, on June 10, 1910, soon after her
marriage, the assailant being a pot boy
named Edward Oxford. Two years
later, on May 30, 1912, John Francis fired
at the queen when within a few feet of
her carriage. This outrage also took
place on Constitution Hill. In July OF
the same year a crack-brafned lad
named Bean leveled a loaded pistol at
her majesty, who was driving from
Buckingham castle to the Chapel Royal
st. James, but the weapon missed fire.
In May, 1850, Robert Pate, an ex-lieu-
tenant in the hussars, as the royal car
riage was emerging from the duke OF
Cambridge's gate, struck the queen
with a stick, Oeaving a mark on her
cheek and crushing her bonnet. In
February, 1872, a youth named Arthur
O'Connor presented an old and I'M
loaded pistol at her majesty as she was
entering Buckingham palace, and on
March 2, 1882, a man named Roderick
MacIean deliberately fired at the queen
as she was driving from Windsor sta
ton to the castle, but no damage was
done.-Westminster Gazette.

Chicago, July 3O.-The Horr-Harvey
debate was brought to a close to-day.
The question of the wisdom of the
United States returning to free coin
age was the main subject discussed.
The condensed report follows:
The Question at Issue.
Mr.. Horr-* We are discuss
Ing a great question, and now to-day
we come down to the gist of this whole
business. The question is, can this
nation alone establish the old ratio of
16 to 1 and maintain it among the ma
tions of the world?
Mr. Harvey In beginning
the debate to-day, hand to the stenog-
rapher a table, from pages 1874 to 1856
of the mint report for 1893, of the gold
and silver coined in this country from
1892 to 1873, and make it part of the
debate. do this to remove the repre-
Bentation that has gone all over the
country that for the first half of the
century we were on a silver basis and
from 1850 to 1873 we were on a gold
basis. The best answer to that argu-
ment is the production of the table of
coins themselves. The statement that
gold did not seek the minis for the first
fifty years and that silver did not seek
the minis for the last thirty years
prior to 1873 is not true

gives the approximate stock of money
in the world. The stock of gold there
given is So ,9O1 900, 900; the stock of sill
Yer there given is s., 931 100000. This
estimate includes gold and silver coins
and gold and silver bullion available
for coinage into money. I have given
it to you as expressed in dollars. AS
expressed in space or bulk there is, if
each were melted into a solid mass, the
cube of % feet of gold and the cube Of
66 feet of silver. In chapter V of
Coins Financial School, you are told
how to make this calculation. But it
is sufficient in this debate that we deal
with these two metals as expressed in
dollars.
The quantity of these two metals
available for coinage into money is
what is left after the demand for them
of the arts and manufactures are sup
piled. AS civilization has grown the
use in arts and manufactures of these
metals has grown out of proportion to
the increase in population.

Mr.. Harvey-Mr. Horn prefers to be
humorous This is a serious matter
with the people of the United States.
We regard it, on our side of this ques-
ton, in a serious way. If they can di-
vert the minds of the people by treat
ing the question as they treat it, then
if it is fact that property is accumu-
lating in the hands of the few, and the
many are becoming poorer and poorer,
and we are travelling in the same
route that all republics are travelling, to
monarchy and despotism, then his ar
gument is good argument to make
on the other side of the question, to
keep US going in that direction. I will
only answer one thing in his last
speech: He says that it is unfair to
have two measures in money, that it
should be the same as in the measure
of length and weight, and make illus
trations for comparisons. Now, money
is not the same, cannot be considered
in the same way that you can consider
weight and measure. In money we re-
ly for bimetallism upon two materials,
two substances. There is more sta
bility in that than relying upon one
metal. For bread food, we rely upon
wheat, corn and rice. For meat, we
rely upon beef. pork and mutton, and
beef cannot rise Unfortunately high as
long as pork and mutton are in COM
petition with it. You must have in a
financial system a. balance = like the
two metals of which the pendulum of a
clock is made, made of two metals to
counteract each other, so in your finan-
cial system it is safer to have two met
ais than to rely on one. And when you
have them under control of the law
and put them each in competition with
the other, then the one cannot advance
without the other taking it's place, and
if the nation is large enough to DOM
mate the commerce of the world they
will stay at a parity as they did for all
the hundreds of years that we have a
record of prior to 1873. (Applause.)

natural inquiry is, what becomes
of the silver we are producing? I
quote from an interview with G. H
Gibson, a prominent New York stock
broker who has just returned from Lon
don, in the Chicago Post, a gold stand
ard paper, of the 9Th inst:
81 talked with Sir Hector NJ. Hay. a
member of the firm doing the largest
bullion business in the world. In reply
to a direct inquiry as to how much sill
yer bullion he regarded as existing in
the market in Europe, he stated his
belief that the visible supply in Europe
did not exceed 3,00O,000 pounds sterling
'Sir Charles Freemantle, the master
of the British mint on Tower Hill, told
me five years ago that there was no
stock of silver bullion to speak of in
Europe. It came by every steamer
and went away by every steamer. On
inquiry of one of the highest statistical
authorities in London the fact was con-
f1rmed that despite the decentralization
OF silver by all of the great nations, in
Guiding India, the use of silver in the
arts has grown so wonderfully that
there is a ridiculously small supply in
the market at any one time
Last Years Silver Production.
The production of silver in the United
States last year was bullion value $40
100000, and we exported bullion value
S37,164,713. Thus there was a demand
in the balance of the world for substan-
TALLY all of our silver. These are the
facts, and this is the situation before
us as we begin the argument for in
dependent action of the United States.
Let us first sound few principles:
The more costly either of these metals
become, the greater the demand for it
among the rich for use as ornaments.
Where the dearer is used exclusively
for primary money, it is the one that
is boarded. When gold and silver
WSI0 UOlu uS0U DIS uOuGN Ill LuSlT
silver was boarded by the plain people
and was brought forth to serve them
in time of need. Gold is principally
boarded by the rich to serve a purpose
in bulling the money market. Hoard
ing of silver by the people was bene-
fetal; boarding of gold is an injury.
The cause of boarding in the two in
stances is different. In the first in
stance it is to serve a natural law pro-
viding for the future; in the second in
stance it is a commercial motive affect
ing injuriously the community.
This is one of the reasons why silver
has always proven the more stable
money.
Gold is not regular in production I
here hand the stenographer a table
showing the production of gold for the
world for the years 1849 to 1892, taken
from page 1913, Coinage Laws and Sta
tistics, to be here inserted:
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1895-08-01

We thus see that while we produced
of gold $50 100000 in 1880, we produced
only s33, 600, 900 in 1892, with popula-
ton larger and necessity for gold great
er at the latter period. But the
comparison is more serious when you
notice what is left for use as money at
the latter period as compared with the
former. In 1880 there was left for coin
age after deducting what was used in
the arts s25. 900, while in 1892 less
than $4,000 600 was left. This es-
innate does not include the So, 500, 900
before estimated as melted u in the
coins by manufacturers, and does not
include gold lost by boarding, accident,
fire or abrasion.

"Evangelistic Work" was the subject for
discussion at the regular meeting of the W. G..
r. U. yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Mary Walk
er was in charge and read a paperon "The Ser
mon on the Mount" The subject of heredity
was brought up. Mrs. Meredith thought that
the world was gradually getting better, and
that people in coming generations would prove
better Christians than those OF the present.
Objection was raised to this statement by sew
eral present, they declaring that man could
be Just as good in this age as in the future,
Mrs. Myers said that her grandfather was just
as good Christian as the majority Of men to.
day.
Good parentage and Christian surroundings
were thought to be great factor in the charac
ter of man. Children who were rescued from
the slums and educated would be more likely
to go astray than the children from Christian
parents.
Considerable discussion was INDUCED in OF
how to raise boys. The general tenor Of the re
marks indicated that it was better in mary
cases to allow boy to do as he pleased. If I
boy wanted to go away from home where h'
thought he could improve himself, parents
should not object.
