HORACE GREELEY'S OPEN
 ION.

Below we copy two paragraphs from an article by Horace Greedy, which appeared in the American Hand Book and Register for 1896, which shows MT. Greeley's opinion of the effect of a restricted cur rency.
 Rome, having absorbed the then civilized world, and having, by the introduction or toleration of slavery, degraded labor and discouraged industrial progress, the discovery of mines and the production of the precious metals nearly ceased; while the luxurious tastes and habits of the wealthy impelled a continual importation of silks, spices, etc, from India and China, which took little but gold and silver in return. The circulating medium of exchanges and payments being thus insensi- bly, drawn away and not replaced, the Roman Empire languished under growing derth of money and steady decline of prices. As fixed property constantly de- preciated in value, those who bought on credit were too often unable to pay at maturity and so sank into hopless insolvency. Hence, labor lacked employment, since few chose to plant, or build or improve, when the resulting property would be worth less than it's cost. Population, wealth, pros perity, all declined and dwindled under the combined influence of labor in shackles and enterprise and business devoid of money wherewith to employ and pay that which was still free. And, though the silent progress of Christianity, the fruits of successive irruptions and conquests by barbarians and the pressure of general poverty and wretchedness, combined to wear out slavery, scarcity of money still weighed upon the en- orgies of Europe, down to the close of the Fifteenth Century.
 The discovery of America by Columbus, and the consequent rapid and vast increase of money wrought a great and sudden revo- lution. Prices appreciated: those who bought, or built, or in any manner improved, were almost al ways able to sell at an advance upon cost. Labor was no longer a drug upon the market, but in eager demand at prices beyond precedent, yet steadily augment ed. The energies of the civilized world received an unwonted stim- ulus, and wealth was increased and comfort diffused as they never before had been

Let them once find lodgment or let them find weak spot, they will develop by the million and the blood will be full of them. Instead of rich, life giving properties, the blood will be sluggish, putrid tide of impurity. In stead of giving strength to the tissues, 1t will force upon them unwholesome and innutritious matter, and the man will lose flesh The more flesh he loses and the weaker he becomes the more susceptible he Is to disease His trouble will become complicated and serious consequences will follow.

The Boating Carnival.
morning.

The boating carnival and water parade
of beautifully decorated boats filed with
the lovliest girls, will be one of the
great midsummer attractions at Peaks
island on Saturday next. Those Of our
readers who have seen a coaching parade
at Bethlehem or North Conway, or the
flower parade at Bar Harbor, know that
1t is a sight worth going a great dis
tanoe to zee. The boating carnival in
Portland harbor is the aquatic event of
the season. Those who look on and see
it from the shore envy those who take
part in it. The boats and the beautiful
girls in them are dreams of lovliness
There is always mystery about getting
ready for the carnival and there are the
different islands as to which shall carry
off the prizes. There will be five judges,
three gentlemen and two ladies. They
have been selected for their good taste
and they will not meet any Of the people
who decorate the boats until they pass
in review. The judges boat will have
white flag at the bowsand the ooou-
pants of all the boats when they pass
the judges are requested to give their yell
and what Island they are from. The
parade will be in six divisions. The
formation will be given in the daily pa
pers later in the week. All starters and
yachts are requested to fly their flags
and put on their holiday attire. Sail
boats are requested to keep far enough
away from the parade SO that the steam
ers will have plenty of roomsto turn in
Entries Of boats can be made at the
Casoo Bay Steamboat Company's office
not later than 2 O'Clock on the day of
the parade. Young ladies who wish to
take part in the carnival can receive in
formation in regard to boats and deoora-
tions of General Manager Goding at the
Casco Bay Steamboat office, Custom
House wharf.
