Victory on the Pacific Slope.

Hon. NJ. M. Estee. of California,
chairman Of the Notification Commit
tee, speaks confidently Of Republi-
can victory on the Pacific slope. He
said 10 an interview:
Oregon has clearly shown the ut.
titude of the Pacific slope upon this
matter. The truth 10 simply that
our people can do no other way than
support the Republican ticket. Al
most all our industries are protected
by the tariff. You might fairly say
that California produces nothing that
ia not protected by the tariff. 1t 10
the only State in the Union that raises
raisins and competes with the Malaga
supply of that article. 1t is the only
State that constantly produced any
amount of prunes, upon which, / be-
lieve, there is tariff of two cents
a pound 1t is the only State which
produced olive oil and the only one
that pro luces any great amount OF
borax, and on all Of these things
there is a tariff; and there is one
thing worth observing in this con-
Dection, aud that il, that notwith-
standing the tariff on all these things
on prunes, for example, Of two or
two and one-half cents pound-they
are cheaper than they were before
the tariff was put on them aud they
were compelled to come into conpe-
tition with American enterprise.

double as much and their profits were
doubly greater than they are now"
"What about the wool interests ~
That, OF course, is one of the great
industries of our State and those en-
gagged in it will have o great 6eal 70

more important than the fruit-grow-

"Your State seems to receive the

asm for him ia already greater than /
