According to the Rheinischer Beobachter of January 18, issue No. 18, 
the Trier’sche Zeitung contains an announcement by the Editorial 
Board according to which, among a number of writers, Marx also is 
named as a contributor to this newspaper. In order to prevent any 
confusion I state that I have never written a single line for this paper, 
whose bourgeois philanthropic, by no means communist tendencies 
are entirely alien to me.
