Profits of the Packers.

There has been 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. Of 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,
r throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
q smaller margin Of gross profit than
any other industry IN America. The
gross margin of profit Of 871 -four and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent. on the
volume of business. The gross margin
of 1fty-one wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing establishments, in I'LL
nois was only about one-third as large,
or little more than two per cent. on
the volume Of business.
The millers have not been accused
of being in trust" and combina-
tons would seem impossible In bust.
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the -four 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 out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: "All
sQueal and no WOOL"
