Where do you think money for subsidies come from?

Money has to come from taxes or cuts somewhere else. Likewise a tariff gives money which could be spent elsewhere.

Hence a tariff one place could be used to create tax cuts or provide other benefits in another area.

In this case what matters is if you actually have a government which is trying to look out for the poor.
