Many remedies are suggested, such as
Issuing coupons as the chambers of

war and the recall of an equivalent
amount of large bank notes, but the
question Is raised whether this would
not demonetize the silver in circulation.
Another suggestion is to mint silver
coins to correspond to the present value
of the metal, but this seems to be for
