MONROE AND MelAURlN.

Senator McLaurin of South Carolina
startled the aristocratic banQueters OF
the New York chamber OF commerce
a week ago tonight with the announce
ment that McKinleyism was the
twentieth century Monroe doctrine.
He described McKinleyism as compris-
ed in the following four propositions:
l. That as our manifold productions
far exceed home consumption, the ex-
tension OF territory. trade and COM
merce were the only means OF secur-
ing markets for our surplus products.
,. That as nation with a firmly
established constitutional government
and enlarged national obligations we
could no longer abstain from participa-
tion in the affairs of the world. but
must take our share OF the RESPONSE
biiity.
3. That, while maintaining the doc
trine that no government on the Amer
lean continent must be interfered
with or controlled by any European
power, yet we must cultivate friendly
relations with them and be prepared
to seek and control our share OF the
trade of the world.
4. That we should not and could
not as a nation safely shrink from the
full performance of all the responsible
tiles cast upon us. but must move for
ward to the fulfillment of our national
destiny.
This may be fair statement of the
Mckinley creed, but there Is no reason
for loading any of the responsibility of
1t on the memory of President Monroe
The essential element of these PROPOSE
tons is selfish advantage There Is no
claim of any desire to benefit anybody
else. The one purpose 10 to extend our
trade. and the claim that 1t can be ex-
tended by conquest and subjugation is
pure assumption.
The distinguishing feature OF the
Monroe doctrine was Its disinterested-
ness. 1t distinctly and emphaticaliy
disavowed any desire OF profit or ad-
vantage OF any kind unless we might
so class the idea that 1t was less dan
EcEOuS IOF ub 10 nave ESpuDtCS kUE
neighbors than empires. or colonies of
European countries. 1t denied any ex-
tent of commercial profit or territorial
extension.
1t was this unseifish position that
made the Monroe doctrine the most
exalted pronunciamento on foreign re-
lations that any nation ever made. The
avowed purpose of it was that this
continent should be dedicated to and
preserved for liberty. 1t was to be
made the home of self-government.
There was national grandeur in that
Thousands of statesmen have evolved
schemes for commercial advantage,
but there have been few who ever did
anything for the freedom OF nations
other than their own. James Monroe
was the most conspicuous example OF
that class the world has ever seen.
