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 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 aglla.
tion regarding the beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques.
ton. It 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 S7l Hour and
grlst mills In Illinois, In the census
year, was nearly seven per cent on
the volume OF business. The gross
