Increase crop prices.
Thomas Jefferson
You generally can't buy silver dollars or any older silver coins at a bank. Because the value of the coin greatly exceeds the face value of the coin, if someone wanted to deposit a silver dollar they would only give them $1 for it, when the coin is worth at least $30 in silver content. Because of this few people ever deposit silver coins and the ones that are deposited are bought by the bank employees as curiosities. The only "silver" dollars you might find at a bank are Eisenhower dollars, but these contain no silver and are sold for $1, but since many people keep them as curiosities, there are few banks that carry them in stock, but at some banks you might find a few. Some banks do sell silver proof sets and other collector coins, but the prices that they sell it for is much more than it would cost you to go to a coin shop and buy the exact same set for.

why did western farmers want free silver?
1790, American farmers wanted fair tax laws and the right to settle western lands.

yes, it did they are the ones that wanted it to happen. the populist party was made up of farmers and farmers wanted it so they could pay of their debt
silver coinage induced inflation which was beneficial to the farmers because it allowed farmers to pay loans of quicker and loans themselves were easier to acquire with the larger supply of money.
The Alliance found success in the South by working through the Democratic party, but Western farmers held a convention in Omaha in 1892 to nominate their own presidential candidate.
As westward expansion was becoming more popular, so was farming the western land. Wanting to be represented, these farmers created the Farmer's Alliance, which fought for rights and privelages of farmers. The Farmer's Alliance later turned into the Populist Party.
because they wanted to. because it was a good idea
most american lived in the countryside and worked on farms. farmers wanted fair tax laws and the right to settle western land
land because farmers wanted more of it to grow their crops.
Yes, farmers and the Populist Party wanted more silver to be coined rather than the current gold standard.
The Free Silver Movement, backed most strongly by Western miners and their employees and by wheat and cotton farmers, wanted the U.S. to continue using silver as well as gold for its coins. This would have created more money and therefore caused inflation (when there is more money available, people are willing to pay higher prices). Because of inflation, farmers would have received more money for their products and would have been more easily able to pay their debts to banks, manufacturers and suppliers of farm equipment, and the railroads that transported their goods, with money that was worth less than when they had borrowed it. The Free Silver Movement was allied to the Populist Party and then became part of the Democratic Party. "Free silver" became the principal issue in the unsuccessful presidential campaigns of William Jennings Bryan, Democratic Party nominee in 1896 and 1900.
