     The first issue of True Progress was published on 4 February 
     
     1881. Its editor was C.B. McNeill who had, until January of 
     
     1881, been the editor of the Liberal—Conservative Summerside 
     
     Progress. The Liberal-Conservatives supported the Conservative 
     
     party but favoured free trade. Mr. McNeill was fired when 
     
     W.A. Brennan, the proprietor of the Conservative Summerside 
     
     Journal, purchased the Progress at the beginning of 1881. The 
     
     ousted Mr. McNeill, protesting the change in the Progress's 
     
     politics, founded a rival newspaper, True Progress which was 
     
     published in Charlottetown. The first issue of this newspaper 
     
     devoted itself to the criticism of the Summerside Progress and 
     
    
   
   
    
     its editor. Whether or not any further issues of True Progress 
     
     were published is unknown.
