AMERICAN  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
503 
Mr.  Shinn  next  presented  the  following  : 
Resolved,  That  a  committee  of  three  be  appointed  by  the  President  of 
this  Association  to  confer  with  the  Government  in  regard  to  the  tariff  on 
drugs,  should  occasion  for  it  arise, 
Mr.  Colcord  seconded  the  motion  in  order  to  oppose  it;  he 
considered  the  question  of  the  tariff  a  political  one,  on  which  the 
members  of  the  Association  differ  greatly,  and  he  did  not  think 
we  should  have  much  influence. 
Dr.  Squibb  and  Mr.  Shinn  took  the  same  view,  and  Mr.  Havi- 
land  spoke  in  the  affirmative.  The  President  read  a  note  from 
the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  the  Drug  Market,  favoring 
the  resolution,  which  was  then  put  and  lost. 
The  next  resolution  suggested  the  appointment  of  a  Commit- 
tee to  present  the  prepared  Pharmacy  Law  to  the  several  Legis- 
latures. This  being  premature,  the  resolution  was  withdrawn 
by  Mr.  Shinn. 
The  President  read  a  letter  from  Mr.  Fuller,  declining  to 
serve  as  a  member  of  the  Committee  on  the  Drug  Market. 
On  motion  of  Dr.  Squibb,  the  declination  was  accepted  and 
the  vacancy  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Nominations.  Carried. 
The  Business  Committee  called  for  the  report  of  the  Commit- 
tee on  Photographs  appointed  last  year. 
Mr.  Bedford  stated  that  Mr.  Lincoln,  the  Chairman,  had  re- 
quested him  to  report  verbally  that  about  100  photographs  had 
been  collected,  and  it  was  very  desirable  to  extend  the  collection. 
He  therefore  invited  all  who  had  photographs  with  them  and 
had  not  contributed  to  hand  them  to  Mr.  Shinn  or  himself. 
Invitations  were  received  from  Hovey  k  Heffron  to  visit  their 
art  gallery,  and  from  D.  B.  Shipman  to  visit  his  white  lead  works, 
which  were  accepted  and  directed  to  be  acknowledged. 
The  Executive  Committee  now  proposed  the  following  candi- 
dates for  membership.  Messrs  E.  C.  Jones  and  W.  C.  Bakes, 
acting  as  tellers,  who  reported  their  election.
