The demands for unlimited silver coinage led to the passage (1878) of a compromise measure, the Bland-Allison Act , over President Hayes's veto. By 1890 the political strength of the silver advocates, especially in the West, was so great that the Sherman Silver Purchase Act , another compromise, was passed, to replace the Bland-Allison Act and to provide for increased government purchases of silver.
