STRAIGHT TALK FOP ELECTORS.
A WORD WITH YOU. DEAR REFORM! (Published by Arrangement.) About three years before tho war we heard the eood Reformers roar about tho way Sir Joseph Ward made inroads on tho nation's hoard, 'they used to howl and fairly dance with rage at his extravagance, and swear that at such reekloss rate he'd soon capsize the Ship of Stale. Gootf citizens in dire alarm rushed out from factory, shun, and farm, and cast their votes for 'good old Bill," who'd sworn to curc their every ill. But davs went on and months went past, (11011211 "Bill" was Premier at last, and taxes rose, for "Bill" spent more than anyone had spent before. And now ho's on the stump again, but all his blanuisluneuts are vaiy. He tells us all in evcrv town he's kept the cost of living down : that in Tobolsk or Timbuctoo they miv six times the price wo do for everything from eggs to ale, but we do not believe Ihe l ale. For every blessed thing wo pay a price that turns our top-knots grey, but. "Hill" can't see thai something's wrong, and so he sings the same old song, wltilo ivc declare in language warm wo real!* eau't afford Reform.— "Lyttelton Tin.is."
