The report ot Commlssloller Garfield - field on the beet Industry has at last been published. It must bo somewhat - what of a sU1'llrlso to those who have been Indulging In wholesale adverse criticism upon the methods oC the Chicago paclwrs , as It discloses facts and figures which clearly show that the gl'eat food producers have been Inllocent of the serious ofCenses with which they have been charged. They have been for a long tlmo accused by newspapers all oycr the country ot extol'tlonate prices demanded , and obtained - tained , of depression of values of cattle - tle at the various stoclyards where their business Is conducted , of enormous - mous profits wholly dlsproportlonato to the capital employed , and , In general - eral , of so carr'lng on their business that the public , under an organized system of spoliation , wel'o bolns robbed for their excluslvo benefit. 'We find now , however , that not a single one of these charges has been sustained but , on the contrary , that rigid and searching Investigation , of- ficlall ) ' made. has resulted In complete - plete acquittal. Instead of extortion It Is shown .that no Industry can be fOllnd where so narrow , a margin of profit prevalls- the actual records and original en. trIes , to which the conuitlssloner bad tree access , showing that the highest - est net profit any of tbo paclters made on their sales of beef was two and three-tenths per cent in 1D02 and in one Instance that the profit realized in ID04 was ono and eight-tenths pOI' con t. t.Tbo Tbo variations In the marleet prices tor cattle are exhaustlvel ) ' treated and no evidence of an ) " Itlnd was discovered - covered , or even hinted at , tending ta. show that values ot cattle are In th slightest degree hnproporly affected or controlled by paclwrB at an ) " of the chief centers of the Industr ) " , On the whole , the report completely dissipates the pre.alent Idea that gl'eat fortuncs are helng amassed by Illegal and Improper methods em' plo'ed by westel'll 11aclwrs , showing that notwithstanding the high prices t'OI' beef Jlrevaillng In 1J02 ! the ' ness was less remunerative than In bUSl'1 yeal's characterized b ) ' normal vl\lues both for cattle allt ! product. lIe saya "tbat the ) 'ear 1D02 , Instead oC being one oC exorbitant 11rofils , as has been common I ) " supposed , wus less profit. able than usual. In fact , durlns the months when the prices of beef werfJ tbe highest , somo. at least , oC th. leudlng pllclters wore losing money on every heat ! ot cattle slaughter . It was nut posslblo to advance the prices of beeC In full proportion to the great advance In the prices oC cattle at that tlmo , " After all that has been written re rectlng upon the great business 111. terest ongagell In the marlwtlng and distribution of the product of one ot the greatest of our llaLional Indns- tries , It Is gratlfrlng t all fall' minded people that the prejudiced attacls ulQn It have failed of verification : anll the Jreat western pacIters may bo congratulatcd for having pasFcd through such a 6earl.'hlng and thorough - ough ol1lclal Investigation unsmlrchCd.
