     PROSPECTUS 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Island Guardian, the successor to the Protestant Union, 
     
     was a Protestant newspaper which published local church news, 
     
     Sabbath School lessons, religious articles, general news, 
     
     anecdotes, agricultural articles, fiction and advertisements. 
     
     When it was first published, the emphasis was primarily re- 
     
     ligious, but by the 18903 general news was receiving equal 
     
     coverage in the paper. Politically nonpartisan, the Island 
     
     Guardian was a strong supporter of temperance and the Scott 
     
     Act. Some of the issues its editorials discussed included 
     
     the tunnel, tariffs, and politics. The Island Guardian was 
     
     succeeded by the'Daily Guardian, established in 1890, with 
     
     which it was published concurrently until 1894.4
