SHAM LIBERALS.

Sir,—Will you kindly allow inc space in your valuable columns, that I may voice an opinion upon the would-be progressive policies of our present Mackenzie Administration? I'irst of ail, we have them, ilying about the country attending functions, practically for the sole purpose of trying to induce the electors to believe tliat they are the only Ministers capable of conducting the Dominion's affairs; and secondly, to try and induce tile few labour members to believe that they administrate solely to see that tlioy get" honest administration far the body' of electors they represent. Well, so far so good, lint just let one consider Ibis point: That the present Administration are always declaring that they siudy the' interests, of the workin.'t man; inasmuch as their present Minister for Labour appears to agree that all employers—either tradesmen or paStoralists—must provide good house accommodation for their employees: a shower bath for every 20 men, and a good sitting-room with a fire for every I">~iucn to dry their clothes. Very well, all this sounds excellent for a" great many of the wage"nrncrs; but let any workini man go down south and see what kind of house accommodation the unfortunate employees oil tho Cass-Wcsiland trunk line get. I have 'een their only means of sec'inmiodation. there, olid alter all I have heard of what the sham Liberals nrofess to do for tho working man, I feel convinced that tiin present sham Liberals only order others to do as Ihev say. but not as they do. Well, 1 think every working man should have good house accommodation, and not the common little ten's to live in with their wives and children, as those poor follows have. T feel sure that if all wage-onmers judged the present Snails rirtv a* they should he judged, Ihev e-mld plainly see that all the money \va«tcd upon the present Ministers' trips ab-nt the country cruld be nut to some b'etfor nurp»se for gottiii" their employees better housing accommodation.
