THE GOLD DUI'Y. Now tlmt every mining district of importance can boast of tlieir Mining Associations, it would not, we presume, b-i out of place to point out a ivay in which they could confer a lasting beiisjit on the miners of N&w Zealand.' Since their agitation on lhs>. Chiness Question has proved to be labour lost — owing, toe think, mainly to the weak res-isi-<itwe offered — we would draw their attention to the, Export Duty of 2s. Qd. an ounce on gold, ivhich we think is an unjust tax o-i their labour. If the Treasury Offices are loio, and need replenishing, why should 01 c doss bear the brunt of all ? Why w t charge so much a busliel on wheat, oat*, X'o. { or so much on preserved meats ? '.n fact', put an export duty on all provincial produce, no that it will be divided ? It wtfl be answered that it is necessary to continue the Export duty on gold to meet the extra cost entailed on Government for the man agemant of tlie Goldfields. For instance, the admirable roads we have constructed to the sam-i ; also the enotinous expense of paying one Warden, one Gold Receiver, one Clerk of the Court, and three policemen to look after four or five districts, with a population ofovir four tfwusand. The revenue derived from mineis' rights at one pound shonld be reduced at least to one-half. Applications, registrations of claims and __ not calculating the amount of dutiable goods consumed by miners, which is more than mi ■ " equivalent for all they receive. We woum suggest that petitions for the aboliiio7i of the Export Duty on gold, also for the reduction of miners 7 rights to one-lialf, be drawn up, and two. or three delegates, accjrding to population, be appointed from c ich district, all of whom to meet in Dune lin on a day agreed up&n, to present the pctitiom. Let them be men who are determined to have justice done to thevr class. Theg must not be put off with the worn-put sop of li Oh ! we will see into the matter, and let you know vn a few weeks what can be done for you." Now is the ii/me for every miner in tlie Province to rise up against this unjust imposition. Let tliem resolve to agitate until it is removed. It they hit act in unison and show a bold front, the Oovernmeait dare not neglccl tlieir demands for their rights. If that course shonld be of yw avail, we would advise them to lay in a stock of gunpowder tea, warranted to go off. Remember Oox Bros. , Storekeepers, Waipori. Down lOith Monopoly ! — [At>vt.]

Strangers paying a visit to Dunedin are often at a loss to know wluvb is the best establishment to visit for the purchase of drapery and clothing. Herbert) Haynes, and Go. offer special advantages to the public that can he met with nowhere efne in tlie city. They keep at all times the largest and best assorted stock of every class of goods, imported direct from the leading manufacturers and warehousemen at home, which being bought entirely upon cash terms, they are enabled to offer goods of such sterling value as cannot be equalled by any other Imuse in the trad*. Every article in stock is marlxd at a no abatement, is ci;er made, so that the. most inexperienced buy their goods at thn same pieces as the best judges. The terms are, — net cash, without dliconnt or reductions of any kind. A fuller description of their stock will be found in an atlvertisinent on the third page of this paper. — [Aovt.J Hottoicays Pills. — The Liver, the Stomach, and their Ailments. — Alternations of temperture, musjgy weather,a troubled mind, sedentary habits, excesses of the table, and a gay, reckless modo of life exert the most dele-, terous influence over the liver and i stomach. '..When once these organs arc- fairly ouf of order, great inroads are quickly -made on the general state of the health ; the constitution, which has bo'e'fi deprived «f two of its-noblest organs, soon gives way, and diseases .quickly foilovv.from which, nf neglected, the. worso consequences will inevitably result. If a course of Hoiloway'a celebrated Pills be preserved in, all will he well again, as they are the finest and noblest correctives of the blood ever known, and a certain cure S for all diawiers'of. the liver and '• stomach.
