TOPICAL READING.
IHE MINING QUESTION. Our Government should approach the Imperial Government and negotiate for a New Zealand coinage upon the same terms as those already made with Australia, remarks the "Auckland Herald." It will then have a term of years to arrange for the establishment of a mint within our own shores. Unless this is done we shall soon be paying Australia a handsome toll upon every Australian copper coin we circulate, and even if the Commonwealth Government gave us a share of their profit, which is improbable, we should still be advertising Australia gratitously and foolishly by •passing her design upon coins which should bear our own.
