The true statement about the Federalist Party is:

**They were represented by GW's Secretary of Treasury.**

Alexander Hamilton, who served as George Washington's Secretary of Treasury, was a key figure in the Federalist Party and helped to establish its financial policies and economic framework.

The other statements are not true regarding the Federalist Party:

- They supported a manufacturing and commercial-based economy, not a farming-based economy.
- They generally favored import taxes (tariffs) as a way to support American industry.
- They advocated for a loose interpretation of the Constitution, believing that the government had implied powers beyond what was explicitly stated in the Constitution.
