Duty on Opium Drives Smuggling Profits at Canada Border
A K Tingle reports in the Treasury memo that high opium duties spur smuggling from Canada, with 125,000 pounds of crude opium imported and refined near Victoria. He notes profits lure criminals, calls for duty reduction, and points to Canada’s role in channeling revenue away from the U S. He also warns that lax enforcement along the U S Canada line and the Vancouver Chinese influx undermine Chinese exclusion laws and tariff aims.
