A BLOW TO
STAND PATTERS."
Mr.. Taft Reiterates His Inten'
ton To Buy in Worlds
Markets.

Washington, May % The "stsnd

and make the most out OF q very
bad situation. Secretary Taft
authorized denial this afternoon Of
the widely circulated stories that
the Panama commission had recon-
sidered its determination to buy ma.

worlds markets. Following is the
statement which the Secretary Of
War, through his private secretary,
authorized for publication tonight:
"No little amusement has been
created In the administration in
Washington and among it's friends
over the attempt to distort the facts
about the Panama purchases, and
especially in the attempt to show
that under pressure there has been
an alteration in policy. Ever since
Secretary Taft and the Panama
commission, with the Presidents
approval, announced intention there
has not been the slightest change,
and all statements to the contrary
have no foundation whatever.
With these facts for q basis, the
protection advocates and trust
apologists caused the news to be
circulated that the administration
has modified it's orders. Various
organs antsgonistic to the admins.
tration began screaming that the
President had taken q back track. 1t
was In vain that the friends OF the
President and the Secretary said
that there had been no notifications
OF policy. The whole country SEEM
ed to be hopelessly confused until
the statement given out tonight be-
came q necessity.
There is no escaping the tariff
agitation. The administration hal
had full opportunity since its first
announcement was made to test thu
temper Of the country, Secretary

OF course the Secretary Of Wal
would not issue such q def without
the knowledge OF the President. Il

might seem to be calculated to draw

"TARIFF AS HARD

Yazoo City, Miss, May 23,-lt Is

is that the men who can see SO clear

A startling public object lesson OF
the iniquity and wrong was needed.
The attempt upon the part OF the

perpetrate the old, old wrong upon
a new customer, to-wit, the Gov ern-
ment itself, has furnished this object
lesson, and even a republican Cabi'
net is seen to revolt.

Turkish Altar or Roses.

Turkish altar Of roses Is mainly pro-
duced in Bulgaria and its manufacture
is carried on in the fertile valleys on
the southern slopes Of the BG'kans.
The rose harvest in Bulgaria begins
about the third week in May and lasts
about a month. The second great seat
of rose farming In Europe is the space
between the Maritime Alps and the
Mediterranean. In the extreme SOUTH
east of France. This is, In fact. the
great scent farming and perfumery
making center of Europe, the town Of
Grasse being the emporium of the dis
trlct. OF course altar of roses is also
produced in India, Persia and Asiatic
Turkey under the climatic conditions
desired, but the great bulk of the sup
ply is furnished by the European re-
gions already noted. The roses en-.
ployed for altar making in Europe ire:
In Bulgaria the red damask rose and
In the south OF France the Provence
rose, a hybrid or variety of the hun
dred leaf rose. TO which also belongs
the well known cabbage rose.

Profits of the Packers.

There has been a great deal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
ABOUT two per cent ON the volume Of
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust began,
throw considerable light on this Ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
a smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of ST. flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent on the
volume of business. The gross margin
of tifty-one wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing establishments in Illi-
nois was only about one-third as large,
or a little more than two per cent on
the volume Of business.
The millers have not been accused
Of being In a trust" and combina-
tons would seem impossible in a bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade, but it ap-
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits Of
the packers. 1t may turn put that the
agitation regarding the packing indus.
