The Neue Rheinische Zeitung was quite unjustifiably suppressed for 
some days by the armed reaction during the state of siege imposed 
on the city of Cologne. After today’s lifting of the state of siege, the 
Neue Rheinische Zeitung will once more defend the democratic interests of 
the whole people with energy and circumspection. This is just now the more 
essential since we have all seen with what brazen ruthlessness the armed 
reaction has come out in the most recent period in opposition to the freedom 
justly won by the people. Making this announcement to supporters of 
democracy, we ask them at the same time for really numerous 
subscriptions for the fourth quarter now commencing, since the 
democratic newspapers, which moreover encounter hostility from 
many sides, especially need the active co-operation of their supporters. — 

For Cologne, the subscription per quarter costs 1 taler 15 silver groschen. In 
Prussia outside Cologne it is 1 taler 24 silver groschen 6 pfennigs. Outside 
Prussia the printed matter mail charges in the foreign country concerned have to 
be added. 

Advertisements: per 8-point line of column width (4 columns per page) or 
the equivalent space, cost 1 silver groschen 6 pfennigs.
