The Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890 was enacted on July 14, 1890. It substituted the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. The Sherman Act was the result of many complains of farmers and miners. Farmers had many troubles to pay their debts and wanted to pay those debts with a cheap dollar. The case of miners was different, they had extracted a lot of silver from the mines in the West and the oversupply made that the price of silver went down. They asked for a surge in demand for silver.
