A protectionist is a person/market company that believes free trade will weaken an economy and rob the nation's people of jobs.
history is stupid
Higher prices of foreign goods
An example is a protectionist trade policy would be a tariff on imports, or quotas on the volume of imports.
You can't, they are protectionists about everything. Only a few major sellers are allowed to sell their merchandise.
Edmund Barton led the Protectionist Party.With the backing of the Protectionists, Barton embarked on a campaign to deal with the problems of Australian defence, the creation of courts to adjudicate on industrial relations and the Constitution (he later sat as one of the founding Justices in the newly-formed High Court of Australia).

True to his belief in aiding businessmen as a means to creating prosperity, Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff in 1930. It raised the rates far above those of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff of 1922. The new tariff was a triumph for the protectionists and a blow to the "farm bloc," that had already been chafing as a result of the continued farmer's depression. The new tariff law, however, failed to achieve its purpose. It did not bring greater prosperity to the American businessman. On the contrary, U.S. exports of manufactured goods began to decline more rapidly than imports. One reason for this condition was the high tariff wall that foreign countries put up in reprisal against the Smoot-Hawley Tariff.

He also worked towards a unified tariff system and the White Australia Policy which seemed to be what many Australians wanted.
No. Jones Soda, the carbonated drink produced by Jones Soda Company, is not considered organic. However, instead of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), Jones uses pure cane sugar for sweetening their beverages. Pure cane sugar is considered safer and healthier than HFCS. Therefore, although Jones Soda is not considered organic, it is a healthier choice over most other soft drinks (Coke, Pepsi, etc) which are sweetened by HFCS If you're looking for an organic drink, Jones soda company actually do carry a line of organic products. Known as 'Jones Organic', these drinks are flavored tea drinks which are USDA certified organic products. You can probably find them in Whole Food Market or Panera. I haven't read the list of ingredients for Jones Soda, but, taking the previous contributor's word, it does contain sugar. Sugar is organic. "Organic" means "containing carbon", and all sugar contains carbon, regardless of how it was produced. Therefore, Jones Soda is organic, because it too contains carbon. Note, however, that even if it was sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, it would still be organic, because HCFS also contains carbon. Oh, and this notion that pure cane sugar is "safer and healthier" than HFCS? That's a myth promoted by the US sugar farmers. Their lobbyists have Congress in their hip pockets, restricting imports of sugar and driving up the domestic price to several times the world average. So soft-drink companies started looking for cheaper ways to sweeten their products. HFCS was the cheapest alternative. But now that the soft-drink companies have found a way around these protectionists policies, the sugar industry is in trouble again. So they made up this myth about HFCS being unhealthy. One way or another, they are determined to protect their obscene profits.
