No. 145, 17 November 1848
Neue Rheinische Zeitung.
Cologne, November 16. The *Kölnische Zeitung* in its issue of November 15 places the “Appeal of the Rhenish District Committee of Democrats” in a completely fabricated connection with an “assurance” about the refusal of taxes allegedly sent into the provinces by the extreme Left of the Prussian National Assembly. The undersigned have not become aware of any news spread by members of the extreme Left about a tax refusal already decided upon by the National Assembly.
Karl Marx. Schneider II.
