DIDN'T SAY IT.
The following note of inquiry and
letter from General Sherman needs
no explanation:
Office of John Swixtok's Papeb,
21 Paek How, N. Y.,Nov. 29, '83. J
Gen. W. T. Sherman :
Dear Sie Here are some words
that within the past fortnight have
been attributed to you by hundreds
of papers all over the country:
"Only two weeks or so ago, General
Sherman, on Governor's Island, N, Y.,
made a little speech in which he said,
that there wotild soon come an armed
contest between capital and labor.
They will oppose each other,' said
Sherman, 'not with words or argu
ments or ballots, but with shot and
shell, gunpowder and cannon. The
belter classes are tired of these insane
bowlings of the lower strata, and
mean to stop them.'
I myself have been so often misre
Iorted that I am cautious as to what
reports I believe.
But did you ever use any such lan
guage? Could it bo used by the
American soldier whom I cheered
eighteen years ago, when I saw him
in Washington at the head of his tri
umphant army after "marching
through Georgia?"
I would not ask such questions if I
had not at other times heard language
of a surprising kind attributed to you
about the same subject
I take the liberty, General, as an
American editor, of thus addressing
you, and, if you think proper to an
swer this note it wouid give me pleas
ure to know your views upon the
question involved in the remarks at
tributed to you.
Furthermore, I should like to give
publicity to any reply you may bo
pleased to make.
Yours, in the memories of tho old
war. John Swixton.
912 Gabrison Ayexoe, )
St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 2, 18S3. J
John Swinton, 21 Pari: How, New
York City :
Dear Sin Yours of Nov. 29 is re
ceived, embodying a printed slip from
some newspaper to the effect that
"General Sherman has recently pre
dicted that there would soon come an
armed contest between capital and
labor," and that "the better classes
are tired of these insane bowlings of
the lower strata, and mean to stop
them."
I hardly know whether to treat
this seriously, or in jest. Of course
it is not true; but that you already
know, because the report on its face
carries its own contradiction. After
leaving "Washington I had occasion
to visit New York. As was my habit,
I visited Gen. Hancock on Governor's
Island, and timed my visit to be co
incident with the meeting of the
United Service Institution to hear a
paper on "Cavalry," by Col. Brach
lett of the army. The attendance
was quite large, and after the reading
of the paper, which was tho sole ob
ject of the meeting, the members
were asked to discuss the subject
generally. Gen. Crittenden, who pre
sided, noticed my presence, and es
pecially called on me. I acknowl
edged the compliment and spoke, it
may be, five minutes extempore, con
firming much which CoL Brachett,
had recorded, encouraged the mem
bers of the Institution in their laudi
ble object to profit by the present
period of profound peace to study,
improve their minds and be ready
for whatever the future might bring
forth. I doubtless said what has
been said a thousand times before:
"In peace, be prepared for war," and
"Bo ready, for no man can tell what
to-morrow may bring forth."
But I am sure the words Capital,
Labor, gunpowder and cannon never
were spoken
I don't think the New York papers
of the day reported me as a prophet,
or so belligerent as the printed para
graph you send: but distance and
time swell a rumor, as Horace rec
ords, the flight of a rumor is like
that of an eagle, which ascends from
its perch straight for a time, and then
in circles, larger and larger, till its
original starting point is lost.
Our newspapers, it seems to me.
are utterly reckless in their wild
statements. I commend you for your
manly way of writing me direct, and
if you will sleep the sounder, I will
bo glad to impart to you my opinion
that at no epoch or period of our
National history has our country en
joyed a larger measure of .prosperity
than to-day, and never was there less
reason to apprehend danger from
without or within.
I am sure no friend of mine lms
been disquieted by this absurd bundle
of nonsense, and that contradiction
simply increases the vanity and self-
esteem of the smart boys of the press
whose imaginations aro better than
their judgment, and who claim the
noble privilege of invention, or what
used to be called "lying," leaving the
victim tho humiliating right of de
nial or explanation.
I address you as the man, not as
the editor, and leave you free to do
what you think is proper in the
premises.
With great respect, yours truly,
W. T. Sherman.
Tennyson can take a worthless
sheet of paper, write a few words,
and make it worth fclUUU. Tins is
genius. Rothschild can write still
fewer words on a similar sheet and
make it worth S50.000. This is capi
taL The writer can take just such
a paper and write a check for $79,
205,000 on it, and not bo able to raise
a punched nickel. This is rough.

lard's Oregon Improvement company,
has received from the Fanners' Loan
and Trust company, of New York
City, the trustees for the bondhold

stoves, ranges, castings, and all kinds
of manufactured tinware m Oregon,
California, Washington, Utah, Idaho
and Montana, and to do everything
else necessary to the interest of the

There are certain papers in this
state, says the Silverton Appeal,
whose editors are owned and run in
the interests of banks, railways and
other corporations, and whose duty it
is, like that of a chained bull-dog, to
growl and menace the independent
press of tho state whenever uncom
plimentary allusions are made to their
Shylock masters. Whenever the
fanners find that they are contribut
ing money to a Hessian newspaper to
boomerang themselves, they should
drop ' on the scheme.
"Butterine."
In New York they are finding out
what is tho matter with it Butterine,
a mixture of 40 percent hog's lard, 30
per cent cotton-seed meal and 30 per
cent first-class creamery butter, can
be and is sold at 22 cents, and there
is no end to the capacity for its man
ufacture. It retails at 33 cents, sold
not as butterine, but as butter, and is
sold to the retailers by the regular
butter dealers. Iowa Register.
And we might say that's what's the
matter in Oregon. Butterine is sold
in large quantities here. It retails at
$1 per2-ttroll, and the rolls are light
weight at that White clover (cream
er') butter, from Elgin, HI., retails at
583 cents a pound, or $1.75 for a 3-lb
box, full weight; while Oregon but
ter, unless from some favonte dairy.
retails at 90 cents per roll of 2-&.
The butterine looks just as well as
the creamery, and as it sells cheaper,
customers who are not good judges
prefer to purchase it But any one
with a taste for good butter will at
once detect the difference in butterine
from the pure article. Butterine is
known ho e as Hlinois butter. North
