In few rases could the ' ex irtajnri cautela" occur with more claim to rospert. Kor can it bo inferred, that a power to regulate trade does not involve a power to tax it. frotn tho distinction made in the original rontrovorsey . with Great HriUain. between a power to regulate trade wit!, the ndoides, and a power to tax them. A power to regulate trade be wnii tlif. I'eient parts of the empire was confessedly niccssairtf ;ind was admitted lie. as far as that was the ens-, in the liritish parliament; the taxing part being at Hie saint? time denied to the parliament, and asserted to be noress-Hrily ill; heront in the colonial legislatures, ns sufficient, and tlie im ly sale depositories of the taxing power. J5n difficult w as '.it. nevertheless, to maintain the distinction In practice, that the ingrciiicin oi rev rime was wcasioitallx overlooked or isrogariicii in tne lii uisii reguiatlotis, us in thetltity on sugar iid mousses imported into tho colonics. And it wn8r1unaie that the attcnW at an internal ex, direct tax, in the case id' the Stamp Ac t, produced a radical examination of tho sub jrt t before a regulation of trade with a view to revenue, had grown into an established authority. One thing at least is certain, that the main and admitted' object of the parliamenta iy regulations ot trade with the colonics, was tho encour nient of mawttVfCiHrrs in Great Britain. Hut the present (tieslion is unconnected with the former re. latiotis between Great. I'.iitaiu and her colonies, which wore of a peculiar, a complicated, and in several respects, of an undefined character. It is a simple "quest Ion under the constitution of the United States, whether the power to regulate trade with foreign nations," as a distinct niid substantive item in the enumerated powers, cnibrat es the object of encouraging by duties, restrictions and prohibi tions, the manulacfures ::nd products of the country? And the affirmative mtist be inferred from the following consid erations: -' ' 1. The meaning of the phrase to rrgnlafe, trade,' must he sought in tho general use of it; in, other 'woriW'in the ob ject's to which the power was generally understood-to h applicable, when tho phrase was, inserted in . the constitu tion. ,',". . ,,,;'.';',.'.. . .
