The sherman silver purchase act of 1890?
Sherman Silver Purchase Act, 1890, passed by the U.S. Congress to supplant the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. It not only required the U.S. government to purchase nearly twice as much silver as before, but also added substantially to the amount of money already in circulation. The Sherman Silver Purchase Act (supported by John Sherman only as a compromise with the advocates of free silver) threatened, when put into operation, to undermine the U.S. Treasury's gold reserves. After the panic of 1893 broke, President Cleveland called a special session of Congress and secured (1893) the repeal of the act.

How did the panic of 1893 affect the outcome of the election of 1896?
The Panic of 1893 came as a result of the "Free Silver" policies of the Democrats, which had re-taken the Presidency with Grover Cleveland's second election victory in 1892. Although the Free Silverites hadn't achieved all their goals with the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890, this piece of legislation did force the Federal Government to increase its purchase of silver. By 1893, this had resulted in a severe depletion of federal gold reserves and ensuing run on banks, and commensurate economic depression. Even though Grover Cleveland's domestic fiscal policies were more in line with the pro-gold standard conservatives, his political reputation suffered terribly. In the aftermath, he seemed to have no popularity either with the Republicans, nor with his own Democrat party. At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1896, the force of the Free Silver movement with Democrats became starkly obvious. Although silver policies weren't the main concern of Populists at that time, it was an issue they had in common with the Democrats. To avoid splitting the Free Silver vote and certainly lose to the fiscally conservative Republicans, the Populists merged with the Democrats and their Free Silver advocates carried the day by nominating William Jennings Bryan, a boisterous pro-silver Congressman from Nebraska, over their incumbent president. So the election of 1896 brought an end to the Populist Party. But their sacrifice would be made in vain because Republican Bill McKinley, propelled by millionaire Mark Hanna's historically expensive political campaign, won the presidency in 1896.
