Panic of 1896
The Panic of 1896 was an acute depression that was less serious than other panics of the era precipitated by a drop in silver reserves and market concerns on the effects it would have on the gold standard. Deflation of commodities prices would drive the stock market to new lows in a trend that would only begin to reverse after the election of William McKinley.
