Benjamin Harrison character jug produced by Sebastian Originals of Encino, California, circa 1973. Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901) was an American politician who served as the 23rd president of the United States from 1889 to 1893. A Republican, Harrison was elected to the presidency in 1888, defeating the Democratic incumbent Grover Cleveland in the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote. Hallmarks of Harrison's administration were unprecedented economic legislation, including the McKinley Tariff, which imposed historic protective trade rates, and the Sherman Antitrust Act. Harrison also facilitated the creation of the national forest reserves through an amendment to the Land Revision Act of 1891. During his administration six western states were admitted to the Union.
