The Hawley-Smoot Tariff set some of the highest tariff rates in the history of the nation. Agricultural rates, for example, went from 38 to 49 percent. United States sugar producers were given special protection. The new sugar rates practically killed the sugar industry in Cuba. The high rates had an impact on Europe where manufacturers found it hard to sell their goods in America which added to the international economic decrease in trade.
