A m1sCn1Evous BILL.

Massachusetts, law provides that a drug
shall be considered adulteratsd ''if, when
sold under or by a name recognized ia the
United States pharmacopoeia, 1t differs from
the standard of strength, quality or purity
laid down therein;" or 'if, when sold under
or by a name not recognized In the United
States pharmaoop@ia, but which il found in
some other pharmacopoeia or other standard
work on maGteria naedieG, it differs materially
from the standard of strength, quality or
purity laid down in such work." or, thirdly,
'if it's strength or purity falls below the pro-
fesssd standard under which it is sold" This
law has been SO violated by some of the drug
gists of Massachusetts, that the State board
of health has during the last year prosecuted
number of persons engaged in
manufacturing and selling adulterated
drugs and medicines. Those who profit
by the sale of such drugs and medi-
cines have been much stirred up by these
prosecutions. and they are apparently now
engaged in an attempt to make their busi-
ness safer. majority of the legislative
committee on public health has voted to
report bill amending the law regarding the
adulteratisn of drugs and food. The pro-
posed change is simply to make the dispen-
satory the standard of drugs, instead of the
United States pharmacopOia, and to allow
the sale of articles not up to the standard ii
they are not marked as being standard 1t
is objected to the present Law that the stand
ard is fit only for laboratory, not for COM
mercial purposes; that by it ninety per cent,
of the drugs pow in the State are outlawed'
and that it very unfairly and injuriously
affects the large dealers in druggists supplies
for commercial purposes. No other State
has so strict a law, it is said, aud but few
have any. The proposed bill will also take
away from the State board OF health the
right to fix the standard. The advocstes of
a change claim to be opposed to injurious
adulteration, but they want Law it is pos
sible to de business under. II is also said
that there is vastly more need of prossout-
ing dealers in butter, cheese, milk. sugar and
sweets generally for adulteration than the
dealers in drugs.
of Massachusetts, that this amendment will
not pass. The law as it stands is not 9 bit
too strict. The Boston Advertiser very
forcibly states the case as follows: The
standard of the pharmacopoia is said TO be
ft for laboratories, bat not for commerce
But what, pray, Is commerce in this sense?

The exactness OF the laboratories Ia said to

outgrown EngIand's power, and dare to tax
English goods; but look at poor ireland,
Turkey, India, China, Egypt, etc. Now do
.ou expect Irishmen to vote for free trade
because England wants it? Does anyone
expect American workmen to vote to bring
themselves down to the position of the
find their mistake next fall. Remember
Eugland's far-reachipg policy is ret to bene-
fit the workmen of England, but the upper
class. Now has not theeUnited States pros
pered for the last twelve years beyond all
precedent Are not our people better
housed, better clothed and better fed than
any other people upon the face of the earth?
Why change all this at the bidding of for
eign nation, or to please importers of for
eign goods, or even to please some of
our own large manufacturers, who know that
if all small factories were closed they could
hire workmen at their own price and then
hope to compete with other nations in the
markets of the world. England sends about
once month some noted EDglishman to our
shores to tsH US what to do. Better by far
stay at home and improve the situation of
thGir own people, SO they will not need to
forsake their native land in order to live as
men and women ought to live.
I have lived seventy years under low and
high tariffs and know more than books, or
Summers, or Carlisles can tell me about what
is best for the great mass of our people.
