"If you can't compete with a barefoot Chinese farm worker who just moved to the city, I don't think tariffs will help you."

Why wouldn't they? It's very simple. You raise the tariff. The barefoot chinese worker loses his job, an American gains one. Yes the product cost more now, but Americans are employed and can now afford to buy the produce, where before they were unemployed and couldn't even afford the cheap product.

What American industry/worker is competing with a $0.16 hour Chinese worker? Be specific.
