I DOMINION SILVER COINAGE. The .Australian Government have arranged with the Imperial, authorities for the use of an Australian silver coinage, of which the large profits, Jess cost of minting, will go to the Commonwealth. It has been officially stated in the Federal Parliament that part of this coinage is expected to circulate in New Zealand, as it certainly will if this Dominion dies not secure a coinage of its own under a similar agreement with tic Imperial mint. Cannot our
own Government make the same terms with the Imperial authorities, remarka the "New Zealand Herald," and draw this threepenny royalty to Wellington instead of allowing it to ship away to Melbourne? In all equity and crommon sense we have as much right to a silver coinage ais the Australians, , particularly when we remember that, reckoning by the relative size of populations a Dominion silver coinage would yield us a clear gain of £IO,OOO a year.
