REMOVING A CAPITAL.
The Emperor Constantine's Momentous

The Emperor Constantine's Momentous
Change From Rome To ConstantinopIe.
The removal of the imperial capital
from Rome 10 Byzantium was one of

the coast of Asia, from a Latin 10 u
Greek city, from pagan 10 a Christian
population. The motives which impel.
led Constantine 10 this momentous step
We're doubtless complex. Since the timc

of Antoninus Plus, nor the regular seat OF
government Since the time of Diocle.
tian Rome had been abandoned as the
official center of the empire Many
places east Of IL had been tried, and Con.
stantine, when resolved on the great
change, seriously contemplated two, il
not three, other sites. 1t had long beer
agreed that the imperial seat must h.
transferred toward the east, and there
was an instructive sense that the vallev
of the Tiber was no longer safe from
the inccssnt onward march Of the Tcu
tonic nations in arms.
The tendency was TO get somewherr
south of the Danube and within reach
of Asia Minor and the Euphrates. Tn.
greater chiefs had all felt that the en-
pire must be recast, both politically anG
spiritually. BY the fourth century /
was clear that the empire must bread

the half conscious and half convinced

added that Cesar became an oriental il

The sum OF $4,000 was, upon motion,
voted to be raised on the real and per-
sonal estate of the district for the sup
port OF the schools for the coming year.
This amount is made necessary from the
TACT that "A new school house will be re-
quired in Red Jacket.
Mr.. A. L. Streeter having stated that,
as he had heard rumor that some of
bis friends proposed to put his name in
nomination, he begged to state that he
considered the present board were doing
all they possibly could for the welfare of
the schools and did not think that at
this time any change in the personnel OF
the board would work to the advantage
OF the district, but on hecontrary would
prove a detriment, wherefore we had
much pleasure in nominating Messrs.

q. Is il true that the price of whea
Hni many other farm products has fallel

q. How are such declines, in wheat
for instance, 10 be explained? A. b,
the enormously rapid increase in grain
growing area throughout the world.
Q. Has this increase been especially
rapid since 1872? A. The increase il
grain growing area in this period, espe
cially in North America, South America
aud Asia, has never been approached in
any equal period in the history of the
world.
Q. How do we judge Of actual com
| petition in the sale of wheat? A. BY
the supplies thrown annually on the
worlds great distributing markets.
.. What market in particular? A.
England, where most of the buying
nations go to purchase their grain.
c. What are the figures? A. AS re-
| Gently as 1880 Great Britain imported,
for consumption and re-export, 90, 26l,-
924 hundredweight of wheat-a large
increase over the preceding annual aver
age. In 1895 il imported 81, 749, 955
hundrcdweight.
q. What has made possible this re-
markable increase in wheat production?
A. The exceedingly rapid development
of transportation facilities in newly Gull
tivated grain countries; among them
India, Russia and the Argentine Re-
public.
Q. Has there been an increase in the
United States itself? A. An enormous
increase.
Q. How large? A. In 1875 there
were 20, 3S1,512 acres of wheat cult
waited in this country; in 1891 there
were 80, 9l6, S97, an increase of 90 per
cent. The yield in 1875 was 292, 1885,
600 bushels, "a heavy increase over pre-
ceding years. In 1891 the yield was
Gil, $50, 600. Even last year, with "a
greatly reduced acreage and a partial
crop failure, the yield was 4G7, 100, 900
bushels.
Q. Has the yield Of other crops in
creased correspondingly? A. 1t has.
g. Give instances. A. The cultivated
area of corn in the United States in
1871 was 34,091, 1877 acres; in 1891 it
was 6,204, 5l5; increase, 1874 per cent.
The yield of corn last year was more
than double that of any year prior TO
1875. Both the acreage and the average
annual yield of oats have doubled since
1871. Our cotton crop i'll 1894 was 80
per cent greater than i'll any year prior
to 1887.
q. Was deolire in grain and cotton
prices under suoh conditions inevitable?
A. AS inevitable us decline in the
price of clothing or furniture or books
or steel rails or pins when competition
in their manufacture has extended enor-
mously.
Q. Would free coinage help the pro-
ducers of grain to a large profit under
such conditions? A. Not in the least
=. Why not? A. Because if the nom.
inal price of grain We're to rise through
initiation of the currency the price OF
everything else would rise also, and the
farmer would be relatively no better of
