It Goes To The Grave Side.

A movement has already been begun,
by some Independent dealers, to make
fight against the excessive and inordinate
exactions made by the Coffin Trust. Well.
informed dealers says that out of the char.
ges made by the Trust in some instances
at least 80 per cent, of the entire amount
is clear profit. The idea upon which the
Trust proceeds appears to be that in the
hour of sudden grief and desperate calamity
family will pay any price (however mons
trous and exorbitant it may be), to carry out
whatever may be the customary and decent
tribute of respect to the dead, says The Boston
Advertiser. The idea of making such CHOU
lish levy upon sentiment which is among
the best and holiest Of human impulses is
exasperating to right thinking people. To
prey upon the rich or the well to do by dis
honest practice is bad enough To levy
tribute, gross, impudent, and greedy, upon
the ag6nized grief Of the poor and helpless is
! abOminable.
