	The Moral Aspect of the Protective Tariff \| The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas on Liberty
		The protective tariff is a device for enhancing the home price of the articles it covers by a tax on commerce, by forcing the body of citizens to pay tribute to producers at home.
		Moreover, as a matter of fact, the protective tariff yields little gain to the laborer, because continued immigration brings him new competitors and because he is in his turn one of the general public who suffer from the commerce tax.
		The tariff is defended on the ground of the value to the growing nation of the advancement of infant industries—of the development of diversified economies.

	George, Protection or Free Trade, Chapter 9: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Chapter IX PROTECTIVE tariffs differ from revenue tariffs in their object, which is not so much that of obtaining revenue as that of protecting home producers from the competition of imported commodities.
		In a purely protective tariff, on the other hand, commodities not produced in the country should be free and duties should be levied on commodities that are or may be produced in the country.
		Protection, as the word has come to be used to denote a scheme of national policy, signifies the levying of duties on the importation of commodities (as a means) in order (as an end) to encourage domestic industry.

	Henry George and the Tariff Question - Mises Institute
		The protective tariff is popular due to the misconceptions that surround its potential for accruing benefits to the populace.
		Tariffs and other devices are often used to redistribute income within the economy precisely because no such consensus exists in the body politic, and that redistribution by the tariff is less obvious than other means the government can employ.
		Hence we arrive at the condemnation of protective tariffs as a means to an end, with the end being a politically motivated redistribution of income, the securing of favors for industry participants through opportunities for improved revenues, or the boosting of union wages at the behest of collective bargaining groups.

	The Protective Tariff
		A tariff or duty tax is a tax placed on imports, usually calculated as a percent of the price charged for the goods by the foreign suppliers.
		Tariffs can therefore be used as a source of revenue for the governments, but are mainly used as a form of protection against foreign competition.
		The problem that results from this form of protection is that it stops the standard of living of the rising country and therefore is not often supported by citizens.
