URGES DUTYON COCAINE
". J. SchiefeIin Sees Safety in Pro
hibitiUe Tariff.

William Jay Schieffelin. president of Schiehen &
Co, wholesale chemists warmly Endorsed yesterday
the stand taken by Commissioner Bingham In nrg-
ing upon the chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee the Importance of placing prohibitive tariff
on cocaine. Regarding this method of safeguarding
the sale of narcotics, Mr.. Schiefelin said;
Before the national food and drugs act of June
20. 1906 became law persons buying patent or
proprietary medicines the risk of contracting
drug hal innocenty because many Of the secret
nostrums contained large proportions of alcohol
while some of them contained morphine or cocaine
The requirement of the federal law that the labels
on such medicines must state the proportion of al
cohol habit forming drugs they contain has gone
far toward preventing persons from ignorantly be
coming victims of a drug habit.
A more difficult problem is that Of restricting
the sale of those drugs, especially Of cocaine, to
their medical uses. and making it unlawful TO sell
them the public There is no duty on coca
leaves from which the drug is prepared and there
is q 25 per ad valorem duty cocaine, which
amounts to about - cents ounce. Cocaine is
used in minor surgery local an9sthetic; II Is
so valuable in the treatment of the eye, the ear
and throat and in dentistry that to prohibit its use
would cause great hardship and suffering on the
other hand il is beyond question that at least one
half of the cocaine consumed in this country esti-
mated 10 be 15oeoo ounces year, is used by
ha bitues as an indulgence

DEFENCE OF SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT
