The flaw in your "logic" is the assumption that because "commerce" and "trade" mean different things to you and cannot be used interchangably, the same was true of Madison.

Read this document and you'll see that he uses these words more or less interchangeably, and makes no distinction between them.

While I applaud your use of contemporaneous sources this time, your original quote stated that "The power has been understood and used by all commercial & manufacturing Nations as embracing the object of encouraging manufactures. It is believed that not a single exception can be named."

That is not what he says in the Federalist Papers.
