The maltster, indeed, instead of a tax of six shillings, would be obliged to advance one of eighteen shilling upon every quarter of malt.

的确，制造不是每一征收 6 先令的税， 而是被迫预付 18 先令一。

It could not be more inconvenient for the maltster to advance a lighter tax, than it is at present for the brewer to advance a heavier one.

制造预付较轻的税款比现在啤酒预付较重的税款更不方便。

The maltster does not always keep in his granaries a stock of malt, which it will require a longer time to dispose of than the stock of beer and ale which the brewer frequently keeps in his cellars.

制造并不总是在他的粮仓里储存，与酿酒经常在他的地窖里储存的啤酒和酒相比，处理需要更长的时间。

But whatever inconveniency might arise to the maltster from being obliged to advance a heavier tax, it could easily be remedied, by granting him a few months longer credit than is at present commonly given to the brewer.

但是，无论制造因被迫预付更重的税而带来的不便，都可以很容易地得到补救，方法是给予他比目前通常给予酿酒的信贷长几个月。
