Hamilton was also against extreme protective tariffs because he knew they needed the revenue source, and he believed he could obtain protection by different means through subsidies or “bounties” as he called them without distorting tariff revenue. Hamilton’s economics were muddled though and he did not realize that his proposed policies would have more or less had the same effect on imports.

Most of the industries H favored subsidizing were defense and others not import competing.
