ft has grown recently faster than almost any city of its

It is tn important financial center and its bank clear

But beyond all these and other material advantages
''that might.be mentioned, Tacoma's population, accord-

. . .An American ParalleL
From Hh New York Evening Poet "
The riotous scenes at Toklo for two.
days past were not by any means th
first' demonstrations of their kind
against aa unpopular treaty. In fact aa
instructive parallel may be found in
vent that took place not more than
even block from th alt of th liven
ing Poet building. On July 11, 17t. a
mass meeting was called to protaat
agalnat th treaty which Jay had Just
negotiated with England. Whll tn
speaking waa under way an enthusi
asts band which had been burning the
treaty at the Battery cam marching
up Broadway, headed by the French and
American flags, and Joined the aasem-
bly. At about the sams tlm Alexander
Hamilton began to speak In favor of th
treaty and urged adjournments . Stone
were thrown at him from the now tur
bulent crowd, and one of thern struck
him on th forehead. , Thua US year
ago an American aecretary of. th treas
ury enjoyed th sain unenviable' expo
rtenc at th ban1 of hM excited coun
trymen as ths Japanese premier rester
dsyrand for Very sWnilarreasons. Jay
himself, was burned In effigy at Bos
