THE Pittsburgh Post says /: Fernando
Wood is denounced by the Gasctte as a
free trader, and yet he accepted the scale
of duties rendered him as satisfactory by
the iron and steel men of Pittsburgh, and
incorporated 1t in his tariff bill. They
have the original manuscript Of this
scale in ths handwriting Of a Pittsburgh
iron and steel man, hanging up in the
Ways and Means Committee room at
Washington, and coupled with it the
denuneiationn Of Wood and Randall as
free traders, by the brainless tariff pa
pers Of Pittsburgh, with the silent ap.
proval Of the very men who prepared for
Mr.. Wood scale of tariff duties that
would be satisfactory to their interests.
When the delegations 60 on this winter
to secure legislation thatwill remedy the
Stree trade" construction Of the tariff
law by the Hayes'Sherman Administra-
ton, we expect to see them masticate
any quantity Of humble pie.
