Excerpt from The Republican Campaign Text-Book for 1892: Protection, Reciprocity, and Dollars of Equal Value Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third President of the United States, was born in North Bend, Ohio, August 20, 1833. His father, John Scott Harrison, was twice elected to Congress; his grandfather, William Henry Harrison, the hero of Tippecanoe, was the ninth President of the United States, and Benjamin Harrison, his great-grandfather, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was four times Member of Congress, and three times Governor of Virginia; all were men of rugged character, plain and unpretending. Like the boyhood of Lincoln and Grant, the early years of Benjamin Harrison were spent in a country home, in a section where schools were few. But the lessons learned by the President in his youth were more needful, perhaps, to the full development of his character than the study of books - the lessons of industry and thrift. In this school of experience he acquired that love of and capacity for hard, earnest work which leads him now to attend to his own correspondence rather than use a stenographer. John Scott Harrison, the President's father, was never a politician. Public honors he did not care for. He found in the homely tasks of the farm his life work, and in laboring to give his children a good education his highest duty. Benjamin took a serious interest in the farm work. His tasks were similar to those of the farmer boy of to-day. He worked in the fields, helped at harvest time, and it is said that the tallow dips which lighted up the big "family room" at the evening gatherings were made by him. The Harrison home was hallowed by the presence of a Christian mother. Mrs. Harrison was a woman of much gentleness, strength and earnestness. Her spirit pervaded the place, and its influence, exerted more through example than admonition, instilled in her boys traits which made the possessors of them upright men and good citizens. Harrison at School Amidst such environments President Harrison passed his childhood. The country surrounding the farm was sparsely settled.
