Thia brings us to the point of being convinced
that these two member of congri ss are not making
u plea for peace but a plea iu behalf of (Icriuany.
And if there was any real ground lor their as-
sumption it might be reasonable but both Volliner
and Itarthohlt know that uch an embargo as they
propose would have 110 effect At least they sliotil
know that such would be the case.
iNie power to regulate commerce with foreign
nations is delegated iu the same section and in the
aniiitt words that delegate power to regulate com-
merce among the several states. The question of
congress being able to prohibit interstate com-
merce arise right there.

enough to give American boats about nine-tenths
of the carrying trade of the Tinted Stales.
When that preference was given up we began
to lose onr proportion of the freight until It has
fallen now to about seven per cent of it.
