DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 16.-The reduction
of wages and forces has been in progress in
Detroit for some time, and now there are
fully 10000 men out of employment,
and many more whose time and
pay have been reduced Only
three industries have not been affected,
these are: Tobacco manufacturers, furriers;
and brewers This is the condition of af-
fairs now in Detroit. An unfortunate
feature is the fact that of the industries
giving employment to the most men,
tae greatest number are least ac-
tive. The Michigan, Pullman, and
Peninsular Car Manufacturing companies
employ respectively $500, 1000, and 500 men
when in full force They have been com
PEELED to reduce their force until they now
employ q total force of $50, leaving 3, $50 per
sons unemployed in this industry alone
Those still employed have had their hours

YoUNGsTowN, Ohio Dec. IG.-Oficers of
the Amalgamated association have declared
strika at the rolling mill of Summers Bros
& Co, at Struthers, six miles cast of the
city. The company recently issued notices
that all the single men must board at the
company's boarding house; that all
goods must be purchased at the com
pany's store, and coal purchased at the mill
The employees who proposed to spend their
earnings where they saw proper appealed to
the An.alGamatei association, and a, the
miIl-owners refused to rescind the obnoxious
orders, the men were ordered out on a strike.
The action Of the company, it is alleged, is in
violation of tie law OF the state regarding
the truck system, and il is probable q te t
case will be made. The operators of the N II
notified the physician who attends the men
that unless he purchased coal at the mill he
would 10 longer receive his pay from the
men. The mill employs between 100 and 20G
men.

REASONS AGAINST THE SUSPENSION

WAsHIvGToX CITY, Dec. 16.-Sana o.
Hill. of Colorado, was asked why silver was
not more widely circulated, and replied:
aPecause the government discriminates
against it in the settlement of bal
aGcas iu the New York clearinghouse.
They pay ont gold only there. The bulk
Of government expenditures arc made
from New York As a result of the clearing
house rule the gold balance in the treasury is
constantly decreasing and the silver balance
increasing. The law requires the govern
mont 10 rece i've silver and silver certificate
especially, but there is no law about paying
out
aWhy do you object to the proposed sus-
pension of coinage"
Because of the bad effect it would have IN
many directions The price Of silver bullion
would 20 down. People in other countries
East India. China and British colonies-who
now hoard silver would no longer do so II 1t
was ro5 regarded valuable enough at home
to continue its coinage. European nations,
seeing it's coinage stopped, would be
slow to make arrangements for coming 1t
themselves OF for agreeing upon rate be-
tween gold and silver, 1t would be great
stroke for the wealthy ruling classes OF
Europe 10 secure added power in concen-
trated wealth by the destruction Of bi me,
tallisin, which would enhance the value Of
their money"
why not change the ratio!'
"if we should make our silver dollar
heavier than theirs it would cause all ouI
silver 10 be sent to their mints for recoinage
There is another poiny to he considered. The
circulation of national tank notes is being
raoidly contracted Something mast take
lis ,lace. Congress is hostile to fm'thel
bond sues. Silver ami silver certificates
are a necessity to keep w the equilibrium.

Cabinet SDeculation.

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 16-It may now be
accepted as a fact that Senator Bayard can
have place in President Cleveland's cab
met if he so desires, and it is altogether
probable that he will accept the offer. It
was at first supposed ho would be
given the portfolio of state, but
his tastes and experience run rather
in the line of finance, and lie would there
for in all probability be the next secretary ot
the treasury. Mr. William c. Whitney viii
certainly be the New York representative ii
the cabinet. Rumor has given him the pos
of Attorney General, for which he il
thoroughly fitted, but that will probably bt
given to Senator Garland and Mir. Whitney
will take the seeretaryship of the interior
instead
