JVbw that every mining district of importance can boast of their Mining Associations, it %oould not, I presume, be out of place to point out a way in which they could confer a lasting benefit on the miners of New Zealand. Since their agitation 011 the Chinese Questions Ms proved to be labour hat — owiug, I think, mainly to the weak resistance offered — J would draw their attention to the Expoit Ditty of 2s. 6d an ounce on gold, \ohich I think is an unjust tax on their labour. If the Treasury Offices are low, and need replenishing, .why should one class, bear the brunt of all f "*Why not cha/rge so ittuch a busliel on wlieat, oats, &t. f or so much on preserved meats ? in fact, put an export* duty on all provincial produce, so that it will be divided t It will be answered tlvab it is+necessary to continue the Export duty on gold -to meet the extra tost entailed on Government for the •management of the Goldfidds i For instance, the admirable roads we have constructed to the same ,' also the "enormous expense of payhuj one Warden, one Gold Receiver, one Clerk of the Court, and three policemen to look after foilr or five districts, with a population of over four thousand. The reyenue derived from miners' rights at one pound should be reduced at least to one-Jialf. Applications, registrations* of claims and water races must be something considerable, not cnlculoMng the amount of dutiable goods consumed by miners, which is more than an equivalent for all. they receive. I would suggest that petitions for the abolition of thi Export Duty oji gold, also foi the reduction of miners* rifjhts to one-lmlf, be dioxon up, and two or ihree delegates, accwhhtig to 'imputation, b& appointed from click district, all of whom to meet in^JJuneilln on a day agreed iipon, to present t)v} petitions. Let them be men who are de--termined to have justice done to their class. They mast not be put off with the worn ont s'jp-of "Oh! we will see into the matter, •and lei yon know m <t few weeks what can be done for yon."
