The Miner
Hardie started this four-page newspaper in Cumnock in January
1887. In the first issue he stated: 'The magazine, while
dealing primarily with mining affairs, will advocate reform in
every direction which promises to bring relief to the toiling
millions. The agitation for the suppression of the liquor
traffic and the nationalisation of the land will have our heartiest
support.' Two years later he re-launched the paper as a
penny monthly with the title 'Labour Leader'. He sold it to
the ILP in 1904.
