So explain it to us. While I do not agree with Roger's positions on tariffs, he's correct about the price aspects. Tariffs are meant to make imports more expensive in comparison to domestically produced goods.

In a simple scenario you would be correct. Place a tariff(tax) on a good and it will become more expensive. When demand lowers for that product the exporters have to lower their prices to increase demand. We get the tax and the cheaper product price. Currency values (China is a master of manipulating them buy the way) is a different story and actually the driving force behind most of the data from this article.
