6854. POWERS, Undelegated.—[further continued].

The power to regulate
commerce does not give a power to build
piers, wharves, open ports, clear the beds of
rivers, dig canals, build warehouses, build
manufacturing machines, set up manufactories,
cultivate the earth, to all of which
the power would go if it went to the first.—
To Albert Gallatin. Washington ed. iv, 449. Ford ed., viii, 174.
