I newt ask Colonel Skew one question —" If the

not expect a fair day's work for their pay? Cin I
th.• gallant Colonel tell Inc h..w the Radicals have

giving them the right to vote withont the Noire or

gallant colonel says the labourer* hanihit ealiect

would have to give if our heal offices were tilled up
by tender. Is it public money that the guardirins
have to handle or nit? I sin vety plowed to see
that the working men, in Colonel Skein... opinion,
are fools to vote for the Liberala Would that
gallant colonel kindly hold a meeting at Dewey.
Broadway, Preston; ur Itlortinotown, or anywhere
near, and tell the working men that they are a hilt if
fuolo ? If a• 1 I think it would take more influence
than the Church clergymen, farmer, or squirt., can
show—or ever efier save bin' frowl • rood
duolting But we Liberals ought to thank Colonel
Skew, fur the paid he has done the Liberal canoe
with his speech already, and hope he will make a few
more and call the working men fools again. I must
agree with Colonel Skew. that the dayo for the 'squire
and farmer and clergyman are not so they were years
gone by. when wages were 7s. and de. per week, and
wheat £l7 to CPI per load. That is pist what the
promoters of the Primrose League would like to see
again ; but the working clans, thanks to a Liberal
m..aatire, can even get • good paper bir one penny. I.
fee one. MOUld like to are better days for the farmers,
but not by Pinching the isorking men or anyone
else. Les the farmer, vote in a body for taking elf
the high rates and tithes and other thingn tied the
land has to hear. Are they not sharp enough to try
and even take off the pay of any .11.1 person if they
got the chance! Let them art the ott, the..
highly paid olficero. and not alwayo try to pinch the
poor.itt away with giving high pension: t.. 1 Mess
