The Fifty-Second Congress of the United States was held from December 1891 to March 1893. It consisted of the Senate and the House of Representatives, with a total of 332 members. This Congress was notable for addressing issues such as economic policy, labor disputes, and the expansion of the U.S. territory. During this session, significant legislation included the McKinley Tariff, which raised tariffs on imports, and the Bland-Allison Act, which mandated the purchase of silver for coinage. The Congress also dealt with the growing concerns over the economy and the effects of the Panic of 1893.
