that there was no law in the state,

So, Mr.. Editor, you will see that
the captain of the English vessel

that protected the captain, were
correct, too. Now l would suggest
that some member Of congress look
into this matter and see if he can
get law passed to olige oil vessels

Flag Law.

Waters OF the United States, l shall
now try to do so.
About three years ago, Henry
George started for Europe in Ger
man steamship. He promised to
write home letter to the readers OF
his paper. He did, in which letter
he used the following language:
On leaving our harbor, New York,
the captain kept up the United
States flag on the foremost of his
Snip, which, the captain said, he did
out of mere politeness to the United
States. Three miles from New
York down came the United States
flag, and mp went the German flag.
Ho! no! ha! hal said I. Such a
sentiment, coming from 80 intelli-
gent man az Henry George, made
me resolve to know the law, if there
were any. on this flag question. |
was, up to this time, of the opinion
that al vessels, sailing or steam,
were obliged by law of the United
States, or state, to put on the fore.
mast the United States flag when
coming into . North American port,
and to put it up when within three
miles of port or harbor, and while
in port or harbor, to keep up at op-
ton; but in sailing out of harbor,
mp must go the United States flag,
and keep there until three miles
from port or hsrbor. have made
several bets to that effect-have
written to New York City papers
tor information on the subject, but
never got any information from
them Oh the subject, so / thought
that | would write to the collector
Of the port of New York about the
matter. ! addressed him through
the Wall Street Farmer, an Alliance
paper. I desired him to answer
through the same paper, which he
did. Ny question was put to him
in this way: AT what point, or
place, does q vessel coming into
New York harbor have to hoist the
United States flag? and at what
point or place can they take it down
on leaving the harbor?" He said.
There 10 No law on the subject"
hope to find the collectors letter,
20 the readers Of the AGIrAroR can
see it.. l was in the New York
house three yesrs--in a bonded
store-l8 B w; so my position
gave me no knowledge about the
law of the flag question. But l
know this: Inspectors take posses
sion of all foreign vessels, three
miles from shore. have been told
by many a sea captain that they
never entered any foreign port un.
less the flag Of the country they en-
tered WAS Oh the vessels foremost.
/ think that is the law of govern
ments- pations-except the United
