Smoot Hawley is a fabricated meme and a silly attempt at rewritting the history of the Great Depression.

Protectionism Didn't Cause the Great Depression Link

I skimmed your article (don’t have time to take it apart in detail right now), but the author is full of used food. Smooth Hawley *prolonged* the Great Depression, not the cause of it!

AFA the author’s contention that raising tarriffs from 44% to 54% and then says that was a small change - that right there is a laffer.

Nice try.
