QUESTIONS FOR THE PATRIOTS.
(To tbe Editor of tbe Erasing Star.) Sib«—l would ask Messrs Carpenter, Speight and Co., who are so anxious about the repeal of the gold duty (not that I object to it), first, where it the money to come from that will be a substitute for the gold duty ? and how is it i» r be raised ? Second, why, instead of * gold duty agitation, there is not one to make one miner's right do for the whole from Gape Colville to Te Aroha instead of four, as at presentP The miner's right is the most unjust tax of all in my idea; some will say the native title lias not been extinguished, that is nothing 4o us, that is the fault of the Gorernment. . I call upon the people of Thames and Coromandel Counties to agitate the aimers' rights question, and force our rulers to giro us jmtice, as the men of the West Coast had done before us.— lMh,,&c., . Jusiug, Jr. March 27,1878.
