than 150 per cent. Hundreds of thousands of farms have been talk en over under mortgages and taxes. The farmers are in the worst plight in the history of the coun- try. Mir Hoover's Federal Farm board is a demonstrated failure and his cost the taxpayers almost $500, 0,000.
 Foreign Trade.
 The Promise: He promised to maintain foreign trade by which three million families in the United States earn their living. saying: Foreign trade is no artificial sttm- ulant to employment. Its develop ment is vital contribution to the welfare of the American workman and the American merchant and the American former. I propose that we shall continue this service to our people.
 The Result: United States foreign trade, which amounted to $9,64O.- 356,2G8 in 1929 had fallen off $5,- 126,066, 900 at the end of the call endar year 1881. In the first nine months of 1892, American foreign trade has dropped $1,256,254,000 compared with 1881, making a to- tai loss since 1929 of $6,382,320,- 900. With ared barriers and re- strictions in every important coun- try on the globe, American foreign trade Is still headed downward un- til a new tariff and commercial policy is instituted. by President-to- be- Roosevelt.
 Prohibition.
 The Promise: T do not favor the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Our country has de- liberately under taken great so- cial and economic experiment noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose. It must be worked out constructively."
 The Result: The continuous growth of the illegal liquor trffic and inefficient efforts to enforce the law. Under a senate resolution designed to show the actual con. ditions, President Hoover appoint. ed the Wickersham commission which cost the taxpayers $250,000, arbitrarily enlarged the scope oi the commission to include inquir, into crime, and when a report wal made, in which a majority favored the modification or repeal of thu laws. he disavowed the work O the commission, and statement misrepresenting the nature of tht report was given to the press.
