In an effort to increase the protection of domestic farmers against foreign agricultural imports, the Smoot-Hawley Act was passed. Efforts at European economic recovery following World War I led to massive agricultural overproduction. Food prices declined, causing farmers incomes to decline drastically. President Hoover, vowed to help farmers using protective tariffs . But soon everyone, including industry, wanted protective tariffs as well. The result, was the highest level of tariffs in US history. Foreign exporters retaliated, hitting US imports with high tariffs as well. Although the Smoot-Hartley Tariff Act did not cause the Depression, it made it a lot worse and International trade diminished to less than one third of its original totals.

The Tariff of 1832 was a protectionist tariff in the United States. It was passed as a reduced tariff to remedy the conflict created by the tariff of 1828, but it was still deemed unsatisfactory by southerners and other groups hurt by high tariff rates. Southern opposition to this tariff and its predecessor, the Tariff of Abominations, caused the Nullification Crisis involving South Carolina. The tariff was later lowered down to 35 percent, a reduction of 10 percent, to pacify these objections. This was still not satisfactory, and the Tariff of 1833 resulted.
The Hawley-Smoot Tariff raised import duties so American jobs could be protected in farming and business, including imports. The tariff raised by 20% , which caused foreign countries to make their own tariffs against the U.S. and raising their own tariffs.http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/550096/Smoot-Hawley-Tariff-Act
