The Msynewer Pilgrim at Province
town.

Inc MAyMower PtI4rtm at frOVluCc-
town.
From the principal discourse at Prov
incetown to-day we have no right to ex-
pect new light on the Pilgrim tradition
and history, which after nearly three
hundred years are still conventionalized
glorified and magnified out Of proportion.
Still, it should be possible to talk Of
BREWSTER and WINsLow and the other
Plymouth worthless without passionate
berating of the wickedness of corpora
tions, although it would be easy to lug
in JAMES 7. and monopolies. A quiet
study of the past is good recreation for
an impetuous fashioner of the present
and Mr.. RoosEvELT's historical addresses
are often models of propriety and felic-
ity. for he is of many styles as well as
strains.
The genuine Pilgrim Fathers are
scarcely known in their habit as they
lived. The Hon. JOHN DAVIS LONG,
sometime Mr.. RoosEvELT's perplexed
superior, made almost scandal by his
truthful painting of conditions in the
Plymouth Colony. The Pilgrims were
no saints, though there were sanity men
among them. As WILLIAM BRADFORD
said. they could not all be Catos'; and
vet they have such character for grav-
ity and prudence that one can but grin
at their wrestlings with deboshed pagans
like THOMAS MORTON.
In their aversion to new fangledness,
their reliance upon age and experience,
their admiration for deliberation and
discretion. the Pilgrims might seem to
be as remote in character as in time
from their illustrious panegyrist, yet
they have a larger likeness to him. They
believed that they were called and up
held of the LORD; and they were bound
to regulate everything and everybody
in sight.

Our Place In the Cotton Business.

Our exports OF raw cotton during the
fiscal year ended June 30 exceeded those
of any earlier year by $s1, 100000. Our
charge to our foreign customers for that
item alone was S4s2 ,0si ,527. A new record
was also made in the matter of quantity,
although the increase over the previous
record mark, that of 1905, was less than
per cent. The export price averaged
a little more than i0I3 cents a pound.
The last few years have surely been great
for the cotton planter who puts any brains
into his business. His percentage of profit
over cost of production makes the gains of
industrial corporations, even the Standard
Oil, look like waste of time and energy.
Our foreign business in manufactured
cottons is a commercial disgrace to us.
The world comes to us for something like
70 per cent. of its requirements Of the
raw material, yet we imported last year
s73, 100 600 worth of manufactured cotton
goods and exported only S32, 900 900. Our
boasted industrial supremacy gets what
is technically known rs black eye in the
field of cotton manufactures. In that
domain we must be thankful for our
tariff and very modest when we talk
about bur enterprise and our industrial
efficiency. We exported s2i 400, 900 worth
Of cotton cloth and imported $4,000, 600
worth. We imported nearly $4,000 900
worth of laces, edgings, insertings, ruch-
ings, tuckings, trimmings and curtains.
Our demand for such feminine fripperies
supports large communities over in
Europe. II is also interesting to note
that we imported s2O,OO0,OOO worth OF
raw cotton.
Our imports Of cotton goods increase
almost from year to year. In 1897 they
were $34,4O0,0O0. In 1905 they reached
s6S, 100000, and last year added siO,-
1000 to that. A part Of this increase
is due TO higher prices, but the bulk of
it is attributable TO the increase in
quantity imported Thus in 1899 we i'm
ported 81 10000 square yards of cotton
cloth. Last year we bought $4,000, 900
square yards. Comparison in the guam
tity Of fripperies imported is impossible.
but the main fact of some increase in
price and large increase in quantity
stands beyond dispute.
Somewhere in our cotton industry
there Is a curiously weak spot. We hold
our domestic trade only by high tariff

gained ephemeral preponderance. The
shock thus administered TO the self-confi-
denoe Of the Quirinal-it was obvious that
the Socialists regarded the monarchy
as only halfway house on the road to
a republio-awakcned IL 10 the necessity
Of 90 conciliating the Vatican ms to effect
a strengthening Of the Conservative ele-
ment by the incorporation OF those Catho-
lies who hitherto in conformity to the
Papal prohibition had abstained from
going to the ballot box at parliamentary
elections, though at municipal elections
they had disclosed their considerable
numbers. To bring about, then, a
modus Uivendi for parliamentary purposes
between the Papacy and the civil power
has been of late the keynote Of the Gov
ernments internal policy. II it now
renounces that policy, what substitute
can it safely adopt? Obviously, a.
between the Socialist Republicans and
the Clericals. King vIcToR EMMANUEL
III. finds himself between the devil and
the deep sea.
The inadequate precautions thus far
taken to protect from injury the persons
and property Of Clericals indicate that
for the moment at all events the Gov
ernment has decided TO throw in it's lot
with the Socialists. II it persists in the
intention it is hard to see how the Papacy
can with any show Of dignity or security
long remain in Italy. But where could
it find q refuge in Malta? The Protestant
masses of the British nation would
scarcely consent to surrender that strong
hold to the Pope. In one Of the Balearic
Isles' The Republicans Of Barcelona and
Valencia would revolt against further
dismemberment of the Spanish monarchy
In one OF the Austrian islands that dot
the eastern shore of the Adriatic3 That
may seem on some accounts the least
impracticable solution of the problem,
but bill to that effect could be carried
only with difficulty through the reformed
Austrian Reichsrath, for the Radical and
Socialist subjects OF FRANCIS JOSEPH
would by no means oovet the proximity
Of the Papacy.
The Vatican, then, no less than the
Quirinal, may find itself in a serious di-
lemma unless the outbursts OF hostility
to Catholicism in Italy presently subside
or are put down.

The Anti-ClericaI Demonstrations In
Italy.


The gravity of the anti-clerical move
ment which is sweeping over the Italian
peninsula cannot be disputed when we
learn that in the cities and even the
small towns ecclesisstics venture into
the streets at their peril, when a high
dignitary Of the Church. like Cardinal
MERRY DEL Val, the Papal Secretary Of
State, is the victim OF an assault and
when Plus X feels constrained to defer
the pilgrimages to Rome that had been
projected to commemorate his jubilee,
which is to begin September 20 and to
continue for twelvemonth.
According TO a telegram received on
August IL the Vatican complains bitterly
Of the halfway measures taken by the
civil power to enforce the laws and pro-
teot the clerical portion Of the popula-
ton. Undoubtedly the Government of
King VrCToR EMMANUEL III. is in an am
barrassing predicament, for either it must
renounce the hope Of seeing the Papacy
persist in the disposition recently evinced
explicitly or tacitly to permit Catholic
voters to take part in parliamentary
elections and thus invigorate the Con-
servstives, or else by rigorous measures
of repression IL will exasperate the par
ticipants in the present riotous outbreaks
against the epscopate and priesthood,
although participants or sympathizers
include some old fashioned Liberals al
we'll as all Radicals and Socialists, and
therefore constitute In all likelihood a
considerable majority of the electorate.
In a word, the Italian sovereign has
some reason to fear that he must choose
between endangering his throne and
arresting by force a popular uprising that
aims at nothing short Of the expulsion
of the Church from Italy.
This exciting il not alarming state Of
things raises some interesting questions
When the Eternal City was occupied
in the winter Of 1901 King VICrnR
EMMANUEL IT,, the grandfather of the
present ruler, imagined that he would be
strong enough to govern the whole pen
insuls and Sicily in spite Of the vehement
opposition Of the Papacy, expressed in
the famous injunction OF PIUs k, @NI
erpedit," which forbade faithful Catho-
lies to recognize the new regime even as
a Government de fdcto by voting for
members of Parliament. The King and
his advisers took for granted that their
experience at Turin and at Florence would
be repeated in the new capital and that
they would continue to control the Cham
Der Of Deputies because it would only
oscillate slightly between Conservatives
Of the Minghatti type and Moderate
Liberals like DEPRETIs. The optimistio
forecast was not justified by the event
Scarcely was the Parliament of United
Italy established at Rome when the
centre of political gravity in the popular
chamber began to shift swiftly toward
the Left, until under CRIsPI the Radicals
found themselves seated firmly in the
saddle, from which they we're not dis
lodged, even partially. until under GIo-
LITTI and his successors the growing
power OF the Socialists in urban centres
extorted recognition and at last actually
