THE DOCTRINE OF MONROE
AND GOSPEL OF SCRUGGS
By Thoman E. Watson.
Editor Constitution: In his first article .
Mr. Scruggs was pleased to pose as ‘'a I
friend and admirer.” who regretted that '
t did not cite authorities when I •'flatly ;
Bontradicted some generally accepted
tact of history.”
Ho insinuated that there were many
ruch Instances in my book where proof
was needed, but named only two, stat
ing positively that my assertions were |
both Incorrect and unsupported by au
thority Referring to me, Mr. Scruggs
declared that "one could wish he had
oeen a little more careful and painstak
ing In his statements.”
Now. it was only because Mr. Scruggs
posed as a "friend and admirer” whose
yearning was for proof, a little mor?
rare and a greater degree of painstak
ing. that T said In my first article that
he might have applied to mo for the
authority and got it—ln a quiet, courteous
way. without any lengthy newspaper
controversy, whose tendency might be
to lessen friendship and admiration on
both sides Rut It is now plainly ap
parent that ho has a rooted prejudice
to Thomas Jefferson, and a craving to
Cisplay his own knowledge of history:
therefore it is evident that any private
citation of authorities, however conclu- t
glee to the average mind, would never ■
have quieted Brother Scruggs.
IjCt us briefly examine the grounds of i
this controversy. Tn my book on Jef
ferson It was necessary to explain how
the Monroe doctrine came to he officially .
proclaimed. 1 did this In precisely the
fame mann-T as other .American writers ■
have done ft. and as the facts author- j
tz'd. The M'.nroc d" t-ine was proclaimed
to put the holy alliance upon notice that ;
tn the effort to seize the South Amor- ■
lean colonbs the- Enron; tn kings would |
have the Unit.-.l St itos to fight. For
the purpose of explaining the Monroe ;
doctrine that was nil that was necessary I
to be said T was not writing n treatise
nn the holy alliance. Tt was not my
business In the Jefferson book to go Into
e. full statement of all the objects and
alms of the holy alliance That had
nlre.adv been done In my other books j
and reference was made In the ”JofT< r- |
Son” to tin ; e other l> ,oks. Having In ;
view no other purpose than to tell the I
reader how Monroe came to assert the 1
Munroe -lof-trin--. T simply said that "the 1
hole r.lllan.a had determined tn drive '
ba-k the South American republics into ;
the clutches of Spain."
That statement is literally, absolutely. ;
romplete'y true and yet Mr. Scruggs de- >
bounced it as flatly contradictory to the I
generally accop • ■’ version and posit ~>.y ■
do dared that I could produce no author
!ty to support it. A wilder, more reck- .
less criticism was never hurled at any j
historian —certainly not by "a friend and .
admirer ”
If Mr. Scruggs thought tt was Incum- |
b- nt upon me. In a lift of Jefferson, -o ,
state all the objects and aims of the ;
holy alliance, why did he not put it that '
w iv? If he beliet' d that the average !

to object to it upon that gro nd. But I

things. What he did say was that my ;

truth. Criticisms of that character
would eternally damn every book in his
library. Does any history of any man,
or of any option, tell all that could be
told? Does any sane reader think that
a one-volume biography of Napoleon or
Jefferson or Washington could contain
al] the truth that could be told about
either?
As to the holy alliance. I did not mis
lead the reader at all. My statement of !
its design against South America was i
not made in such away as to make the I
impression that it. had no other pur- I
pose. 1 simply said “that the holy al
liance had determined to drive the Span- '
is.h-American colonies back to their al- '
legianco” and that this design of the
holy alliance caused the Monroe doctrine
to be proclaimed. How was it possible,
for any intelligent, reader to be deceived
by this statement?
Now, let me ask Mr. Scruggs till.’ plain,
direct question: If his only objection ■
to my statement was that it was not full !
enough, why did ho deny its truth? Why j
did he say that the "holy alliance did •
not seek to drive the South American
colonies back to their former allegl- :
ance?”
In other words, why did ho deny what I
he now admits to be- true? Your readers ■
will have noticed that In his second ar- I
ti le Brother Scruggs is in a hurry to -
drop the debate ays to the holy alliance.
He had been lifted clear out of the !
water on that, and he knew it. Ho I
had charged me with a false statement, I
and bad been convicted himself, licr.ee '
the haste with which he cade adieu to |
the holy alliance and rushed to the Mon- 1
too doctrine, where the chances to floun- I
iier around and escape being caught In |
another error were much greater But |
he shall not escape. As plainly as he has
been run to cover on the holy alliance, ;
as clearly as he has been compelled to |
admit In second article what he de
nied in his first, he shall walk the plank
on the other proposition—the Monroe
doctrine. Wh:*t did he say in his first
article?
I. That Jeff'-rson had nothing what
ever to do with the Monroe doctrine.
2 That what Jefferson wrote about the I
Monroe doctrine had been already "em
bodied In Washington's farewell address.” |
and that what Jefferson said on the sub- j
ject wag "a mere echo."
There is not a student of history tn I
the south who does not know both these I
statements to be totally incorrect. In I
roof of my statement that Jefferson had i
made the firs, "full and explicit dcclar- |
ation” of the Monroe doctrine. I invited ;
ho reader to compare the Jeff*-rson let- ;
ter of 1823 with any other letter or ,
d<-i iaratlon upon the subj-ct prior to i
that time. But to carry the proof still ■
further bn -k—beyond Monroe and Jonn
Quincy Adams—l cited the otllcial letter
of Jefferson, written In 1790, when he
was secretary of state, putting Great |
Britain upon notice that the Fnltcd States |
would object to England's seizure of the
Spanish-American possessions This was ;
Monroe do< trine at th e very fount tin
head. It was the first of all the official
utterances upon that subject. H w.ps da
vears prior to the farewell address. It
wns tSiirty yeans prior to the John
Quincy Adams declaration. I called
Mr Ser.'.ggs' attention to this ! "' i' "f ,
1790, yet Brother Scruggs with the se
renity of a. man who "ha,- said the
lu-rse is 16 feet high and must stick to ■
It." calmly Ignores the fa ts the ac
cumulated proofs, and the exposure of his
own errors. He hid rcklessly d'.lai'd
that the M mroe doctrine was “embodied
in Washington's farewell address;" ho |
was challenged to find the Monroe doc- ■
trine in the farewell address; ho searched
tdocument and found nothing intur
than tin- neutrality doc fine, which I said
was there. He now declares that neu .
■ rraiity is the first principle of the Mon- 1
ro< doctrine; neutrality is found in the ;
■ fit’-ew ii address; therefore the Monroe ■
in.ctrim- i- "cm I ..filed in that address:” i
! consequently what Jefferson said after- ,
; w d was a ' mere echo.”
Bogi like this ai.'tk- ■■ me sad. For th* ,
■ moment, i<q us grant that neutrality as
I to European affairs is a part of that dis- i
• •iuctiio doctrine 1. ;ow:i as the Monro- ;
; Doctrine; let us further grant that Wash- I
■ mgton’s farewell address embodies the 1
’ gnspoi of neutra'.iti ; t it. th- .. time, as :
i Mr. Scruggs declared in his first letter,
lllli WEEKLY CONSTymnOKi ATLOT.a. OA.. MOM D - (X TOBEB 26, 1903.
that “what Jefferson wrote was n mere
echo?" He said so—said it positively. Is
it true? In his second letter he himselt
proves that what he said in his first let
ter about the Monroe Doctrine is not
true.
He. now admits that nothing but neu
trality Is found in the farewell address;
he now admits that the Monroe DoctHne
consists of two other distinct principles
(no European colonization here, and no
extension of the European system here)
winch have no place whatever in the fare
well address; consequently he proves that
he committed a gross error when he
stated what Jefferson wrote was a. mere
echo, for Jefferson made a full and ex
plicit declaration of those other two
principles which have no place in the
farewell address.
How can Brother Scruggs explain tuts
blunder? It is plain, it is vital, it was de
liberately committed. H- deviate' t
farewell address so embodied the Monroo
Doctrine that the subsequent declanjtions
of II were more echoes of that .arnoue
paper, yet he is driven to confess lha
only one of his three grand principles o’
the Monroe Doctrine can be found In the
farewell address! Will not Mr. Scruggs
make th'- honest confession which is good
for the soul and admit that he woeful!)
blundered?
To this painful predicament is Mr
Scruggs led. even when wo conced' d that
he has correctly stated the Monroe Doc
trine. But I deny that he stated It
properly. The weight of authority ts
dead against him. .
What was the Monroe Doctrine*? fai- i
dently It must have been : ’' ,rn '’,
whit-h do president of the l nitrd Sia • ,
had proclaimed prior to that Unit < Iso |
it would not tytvc excited so great a l
sensation. It must have been some doc ]
trine pecullat to Monroe’s administration,
else it would not have so suddenly and
universally b< ■ amc known by his name.
Judged by these standards, was M i; king
ton's neutrality doctrine the '•embodi
ment” of Monroe's doctrim . so Hint Mon
roe was a ‘‘more echo" of Washington
Surely not, for all Europe was familiar
with the neutrality doctrine, ami had
been since Washington's proem mat n m of
1793. In other words, the neutrality doc
trine w.-i 1 old. It was untvi i ;-a 11 \ kit".- •’
But Monroe’s message set forth a 'i' l '”
trine which was n"w to Europt and new
to most Americans!
■What was it?
The historian Schouler (vol. 111. pan".
288) says that the Mont oe < oct rim con
sists of two distinct propositions: <D
That we cannot permit European nations
to extend their systems to the net.
world, and,
(2.) That ’his continent Is no longer
open to coloniz.ation.
"In these two propositions consists the |
celebrated Monroe doctrine.” So says the |
historian S* hou.vr. :
i’i the "Constitutional History of tlie
t'nited States” the Darned nuthm. Dr
Jud-on S J .-andon, takes precisely toe
same view as Schouler. (Fagc I4f .)
In the "Folitlcal History of the fulled'
States ■ by Goldwln Smith. D.C.D.. pre
cisely the same definition is given. (I'agc
175.)
Also, Dr. Woodson W !'.:-•<-n. Vol. 111.
pago '263: "History of the American
People.”
In Professor Elson's "Side Bights on
American History” the Monroe doctrine
is declared to be found in that portion
of the mes- tge which distinctly sets forth
the two principles before stated.
In Dart’s "Formation of the T’nlon'
the Monroo doctrine is said to consist of
these two principles.
In Morris' "History of the T'nited
Stat's" the two principles referred to
are specified as being the Monroo doc
trine.
I could cite other authorities, one lifter
another, to the same effect.
It is safe to say that in ninety-nine
cases out of a hundß-i where the dis
tinctive Monroe doctrine is delin' d It
wl'.l be found to consist In these two prin
eiulcs ill No further European coloniza
tion and <2t tio extension of European
systems Io the new world.
Only in tin rarest instances will tin old
neutrality doctrine be included—MacM,in
ter being oue-for the simple and obvi
ous reason that al! people can see ti.e
wide, radical difference between th
■Washington doctrine of not Interferin'.;
in Europe and the Monroe doctrine of not
allowing Europe to iuterf' re over h'-r.’.
Where does Mr. Scruggs g--t the id'-a
that I attributed the Monroe doctrine
to George t'anning? N-'-vci have 1 done
so. I quoted Fanning's speech in k'.rlia
n.' til to prove the d'-signs of th. holy

ADMIRAL SCHLF.Y, one of the foremost, notable heroes of
the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the
heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerv". clear
head, undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as
to th,, efficacy iif f’eruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without
the slightest hesitation ne gave this remedy his endorsement. It
appeared on later conveisation that f’eruna has been used in his
family, where it is a favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that
Feruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of
the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley
could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Feruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says
it is.
' Yet our brother Scruggs is so extremely
: urixious to air his know!, fige of history
■ tl.at he devotes about on-lhiid of a
column to prove that ('aiming was not
ihe author of the Moni"' doctrine. In
his first article Mr. Scruggs bad asserted
that the holy alliance did n’t intend to

given credit to Jefferson C’i tin .Monroo

the credit to an Englishman not in the
same article, tit any r.it'-. That would
have been a little tor bad.
By the way, does Mr. Scruggs read my
■irticleg before answering them? It is
humiliatingly obvious to mo that he do's

was reading my little notes in this con
troversy. If tie should 'Hine back at me

that had been written.
And there are fair-minded historians
who declare In their bocks that James
Monroe did not make up his mind liow

advice of Thomas J' ffer.-mi!
In June. 1735. this .--.imo Jefferson,

Therefore, by evidence piled on evidence.
I prove that Mr. Scruggs was wrong
when he. denied Jefthrson credit for the
Monroe doctrine; wrong when he claim
ed that the doctrine was "embodied In
th’ fat' well address;” wrong when he
stated that what Jeffer»ut wrote wa.-t "a

when Im stated that '.lctferson had noth

1 have seldom seen so many monstrous
errors crowded into so small a spa a-.
i Genet didn't seek to bung about an
alliance between this country and France,
■ for the simple reason that such an alli

any new alliance whatever. All of his
troubles grew out of his assumption that
the old alliance, which had carried m*
victoriously through the storm of the
revolutionary war, was still in force and
would be kept by the United States. All
he asked was that we should live up to

i Mr. Scruggs, Mr. Watson and the
Monroe Doctrine.
I Editor Constitution: Tn reference to Mr.
Scruggs' ond paper in The Constitu
| tion of the Bth inst., I believe no one
<"iM hav. fa.rlv uiMersfoid that Mr.
Watson was eon i-lertng the Monroe doc-
I trine In "ill of its purposes, but only so
much .'. provoked the message of Prcsi-
■ dent Monroe, since known as the Monroe
doctrine, if Mr. Watson had been writ-

Mr. Scruggs' criticism that he made refer-
I en. e to tin- holy alliance In such away
I that "it.; sole obj. was tin- reconquest
■ of the Spanish-American states, by Spain
i and the ail.ed rowers in the holy al

.Mr. Scruggs declines to affirm or deny
Mr Watson's claim tliat Jefferson stated
th. germinal idea of the Monroe doctrine
'as far bail: as 1790; nor does Mr. Scruggs
I make the slightest recognition of my
I quotation in full o: Jefferson’s letter of
1820, written thn years bet ire the Mon
: re doctrine was published.
Mr Scruggs says: "And yet Mr. Swift,
who conn s to Mr. Watson's aid in this
' controv y, tells us that Washington’s
address contains no germs of the Mon
roe doctrine.”
As to the fact that Washington makes
! no mention of the Monroe doctrine in his
farewell address, j still adhere with com
placency and confidence. Mr. Scruggs
shows that Washington’s farewell ad
dress wry cxtendedly adjusts "No par-
I ti'-lpation by the United States in the
lolith ,il broils of Europe.” but Wash
ington made no mention "of interdicting
:n the seas and territories of both Amer
icas and in cis-Atlantle. affairs" European
interference. This was, however, tlie ■ -x
