Sherman Silver Purchase Act

The Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890 required the United States Department of the Treasury to purchase and coin 4.5 million ounces (140 t) of silver per month and pay for it with legal tender, treasury notes redeemable in gold. This law was a victory for silver forces and inflationists.
