THE TARIFF.
CHEMISTS' OBJECTION. (Post Correspondent.) DUNEDIN, July 29. The latest tariff protest conies from the local chemists. At the monthly meeting of the Otago Pharmaceutical Association the secretary was instructed to forward to the Minister of Customs a resolution to the following effect,:—"That this meeting considers that the proposed increased duty of 5 uer cent, to be levied on drugs and chemicals is unfair in its incidence, seeing that a tax to he just must be levied on the whole population, .whereas this 'will affect only some, viz., chemists in business in New Zealand. Moreover, the chemist's business is of such a natuvc that the increase of 5 per cent, in the cost of his material means a distinct loss of that amount, as the increase cannot be passed on to the consumer."
