Under the Union Ireland can have both, for the
welfare of her children and the building of a noble history.

THE PROBLEM OF TRANSIT AND TRANSPORT IN IRELAND
BY AN IRISH RAILWAY DIRECTOR
Any scheme giving self-government to Ireland must seriously affect the
problem of local transit and transport, by rail and water, which all
parties in Ireland agree to be pressing and important. Nor is it merely
a local question. As recent returns show, the trade between Ireland and
Great Britain has of late years enormously increased, to the great
advantage of both; for if Irish farmers profit by the export of beef,
mutton, milk, eggs, butter, bacon and other articles, Great Britain has
the benefit of a near food supply within the United Kingdom.
