Complete answer:
Now we will discuss the act.The Sherman antitrust Act was passed by congress early in July. There was a growing public dissatisfaction with the development of industrial monopolies. It had been a notable feature of the preceding decade; it was more than ten years ago when the Sherman Act was used to break up an industrial Monopoly. Federal government involved in this was against the railroad union which was accused of restraint of a state interstate commerce act. It would inhibit the growth of monopoly. The results were disappointing after two weeks Congress pass the antitrust law which German Silver purchase Act was enacted a tariff was designed to appeal to farmers some Agricultural Products were added to the protected list items like sugar it was placed on the free list sugar planters were given subsidy of two cents a Pound there was a General increase in tariff schedules with many of these.
