In the 1870's the paper did not receive patronage from the Bennett administration and supported Carter and Ambrose Shea, who represented the Harbour Grace district in the House of Assembly. The paper supported the railway and Whiteway's first administration. The Standard took the Protestant side in the aftermath of the 1883 Harbour Grace affray and supported Thorburn in 1885. The Standard was published until 1936 when it folded due to economic reasons.

| Fold the hands across the breast | So, as when they knelt to pray Lead them to their dreamless rest For our darlings died to-day Lay their little limbs out straight Gently shroud their sacred clay Sorrow-shaded is our face For our darling died to-day No more we'll hear their prattling voice Chanting its incessant lay For from our flock God took his choice And our darlings died to-day But we'll try to bear it calmly And with thankful hearts to say God gave and He hath taken Our darling children away As we kiss their pale cold lips And press their cold forms to our breast We know our darlings are now with Jesus Happy in his arms at rest.
