wisconsin and originated under the tariff law of 1874 now repealed judge mccrary held in the course of a very able opinion that it if the act la in question applied to through shipments it related to a subject which is hajn in its nature national and that it the power of the state to pasa buch such an act were conceded it would no ne ceata rily include the power to discriminate against the commerce of other states and for these reasons such a statute would be in violation of the federal constitution it is not within the power of one state upon an interstate inter state line to fix the
