A WORKING MAN'S ENQUIRY.
[To tho Editor of the Daily Telegraph.] Sir,—As several of us working men are not clear about the promises of Mr Smith and Mr M'Dougall, perhaps you would not mind telling us. How can Mr Smith mak-ethe runholders and other people that employ us raise our wages ? We cannot see it. And how is M'Dougall going to get the tax taken off sugar and tea and other things, as he says ? Have those two got more influence than Captain Russell, or Mr Ormond, or Mr Sutton ? They don't promise us that, and tbey have been in Parliament a long time, and know more than those do. Do tell us, Mr Editor, if tbey have been telling us lies or truth, so that we may know how to vote.—l am, &c, A Liberal of the Right Soet. Hastings, December 6, 1881. [Our advice ia to those who require it: Don't allow yourselves to te humbugged by political adventurers, who seek a seat in Parliament to escape hard work. Ed. D.T.]
