- United States House of Representatives elections, 1890
The U.S. House election, 1890 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1890 which occurred in the middle of President Benjamin Harrison's term.
A stagnant economy which became worse after the Panic of 1890, combined with a lack of support for then Representative William McKinley's steep tariff act, which favored large industries at the expense of consumers, led to a sharp defeat for Harrison's Republican Party, giving a large majority to the Democratic Party and presaging Harrison's defeat in 1892. The Republican-controlled Congress was highly criticized for its lavish spending, and it earned the unflattering nickname of The Billion Dollar Congress. Democrats promised to cut the outlandish budget. This election also saw the Populist Party, a coalition of farmers and laborers who wanted to overhaul the nation's financial system, also make a small mark on Congress.
