In time of shortage a judicious distribution from the State granaries helps to check the scandalous inflation of prices, but I was counting most of all on the organization of the producers themselves, the vineyard owners in Gaul and the fishermen in the Black Sea (whose miserable pittance is devoured by importers of caviar and salt fish, middlemen battening on the produce of those dangerous labors).
Estaduaren bihitegietako erreserbak zuhurki banatuz gero, eskasiazko garaietan desarratzen den inflazio jasangaitzari nola edo hala eustea lortzen da, baina nik neuk batez ere langileen beren antolamenduan neukan konfiantza jarria, galiar mahastizaleen antolamenduan, adibidez, edota Ponto Euxinoko arrantzaleen antolamenduan, berauen lan eta arriskuez gizentzen diren jantxakur horiek, kabiar eta arrain gazituaren inportatzaileek alegia, eguneroko elikagai guztiz urria bera ere ebatsi diezaieten eragotziko duen antolamenduan, esate baterako.
