The Constitution give 10 Congress The right 10 regulate
commerce with foreign nations aud among the several
states, As thus grant Of power Is given without mi

as It pleases-may impose high duty upon article,
and admit another tree OF duty Ga any ar construction
of this ella sc, the power undoubcd IN the case Of
declaring ,edr or maintaining nary. This power
Of discrimination in the imposition of duties seems essen
