G. “FONETIKS (NOT) IN JAPAN.” T the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Bim: I was much plonsed to see o communi- cation in 'Tor Tninuye of Fridey, 24thult,, touching upon the important subject of Phonetice. I heprtily concur in tho ideas tho writor advaunced, and wish to add a few thoughts which have suggested thowsolves to' me. ‘Whethor the Japancso edopt the English lan~ guage or not, ia o question that time alone wily gottle; for it would bo o horculean undertaking to discard a nationnl languago, nud force upon tho people o language #o entirely foroign to them ms ours would be. But- tho question of - modifying onr alphabot aud our system - of orthography, combining cor- tain .. charactora 8o that they would ropresent exaotly what they oxpross, or express oxaotly what they represcnt, would be a com- parativoly casy tasl, if tho nowspapers (now tho popular educators) would ¢ study up* and place tho eubjoct more familiarly beforo thoir readors. Tho arguments in favor of the chango aro without end and unansworablo. As has been suggested by Mr. Bonnott, there are many words in our langungo that, phonetically, would bo epolled ;the samo beeauso of a gimilavity in sound,—2s8 rein, rain; thee, the; greal, grale; read, yeed, otc.; butit must bo romemborod thaf, undor our present system, wo bavo wordy spelled precisely tho samo and pronounced ou- tiroly dlfforont,—such, for exawple, as minulo (mi-nute), minufe (win-it); present (pro-sont), {»wenl (pres-ent), and numorous othor illuntra- jons that might bo given wore il necessary. Now, take eithor of the above words, and isclalo them from all connoction, and who could tell by the way in which thoy aro spelled as to whicl was tho proper pronunciation, Either will an- awer for both, or both for efther. Phonetics would make each word definito nf sight, and their moaning obvious, b But the great advantages tobo derived from thie phonotio system aro ihowo: A ehild, when ho Lias learned the phonetio characters thorough- :{‘, can, with alittlo practicc, read almost any- thing and Pronouncu tho words correctly, In- stoad of being required Lo study five years in or- der to be sblo toread in tho Tourth Roder,undor the present systom, hio can accomplish tho taslc inless than one-third of tho timo by phonotics, and much moro thoroughly. Becondly, & porson who can read English cotroctly by tho phonotic system, will bo able to road and pronounco cor- roctly any foreign language printod or written in tho pame characlers, Thus, a studont in Trench, Latin, German, or_nny other languago, Jiving or doad, will experience no diflioulty in loarni n%:\'ltl.\out & mastor, nor will he incur the rink of being Jaughod at for vidionlous mispro- nunoiations.” Thirdly, tho various dislects of difforent_looalitios would evontnally fade out, and words would heve a uniformity of sound whorever the same language ia apokon, ‘This ia a progrossive age. Evorflfl.\h’:‘? s now dono on the railroad or tolegraph so with lightning spood, and tho wonders of o former dscade are now accomplished in n» singlo yoar. Tho ouly &cionco that is dormant and be- hindhand i our stom of education.

Two-thirds of {ho entire schooling a student gets is devoted to the spelling snd pronunciation of words, aftor Bie knows the letters forming thom. Tho student in geography would nevor kuow tho pronuncin- tlon of geographical names on tho map, wero it not t!ug they sre placed thoro {wice,~onco ay spelled and onco a8 pronounced, But I havo now encroached too much upon your space, porhaps, though I hava by no moans oxhauated tho unbflaul.

L. APPLEGATE. Asuraxp, Oregon, Jsu.10, 1873, THE LABOR QUESTION, - Strikke of the Welsh Iron-Laborers. The latest English papers bringa nows of & singular stato of nffairsa umong the Welsh coal and iron lsborers. The iron-workers recently demanded an advance of 10 por cont in their wages, which tho iron-masters answered by tho snnouncement that thoy should roduce wages 10 per cont, Matters waro speedily coming to a erinis, wren Mr. Mundells, the liboral membor of Parlismont, got tho two partica together for talk. ‘Tho ncono must hinvo been worthy of a painter. On ono side of a table in & hall woro ranged tho iron gods, including sovoral million- aires and M.P.'s. On the othor sida wore 80 delegatod represontatives of tho 70,000 Welsh iron-miners, bard-handed, cloan-faced, com- fortably dressed. Tho um{:lgyom alloged that tho nowspaper quotations of ifon hied beon doc- torod for an impropor purpose, thatiron had fallon 30 ohillings & ton from its highost prico, while coal maiutained its position, having ison in two yoars from 914 shillinga'to 43 por ton that tho wuges of tho mon had alroady advances in the different works from 50 to 76 and oven 101 por cent; and, fiually, that tho workmon woro less productivoe than formerly. On this point Mr. Monelaus, Managor of t10 world-ro- nowned Dowlais Iron Worls, said ¢ “Yon, worlmon, have talton to do loss work, and, I am sorry to bavo to say il, worse work than formerly, You don't como to work on Mon- day, we too vory littio of YO“ on Tuosday, and you think you do prolty well if you start fairly on Wednoaday, Hut on tho Wodnesday many of you ara in o condition that does not” onablo yoi to do your work a4 you_onco did, Takon Tact as o proof of this, which you will under- stand, It takes » hundred moré of pig-iron to nako o ton of raila than it did two_yoars ago. You know what that means. It's bad work. Col- liors do not do nearly as much work ag thu¥ were wont to do, though the hours of labor and tho numbor of men ouployed aro tho samo, and all the appliances of labor are equal. Tho cost of tho matufachuro of fron Jins gono up doublo in proportion to tho advancoin the prico of the artlclo, and it i ovidont that this ia a utato of things which cennot go much favthor without coming to n disastrous stop.
