English-speaking South Africans are marked by multiple identities, but until recently they were united by strong feelings of Britishness and loyalty to the Crown, symbolized by the fervent flying of the Union Jack. This study analyzes the nature of the "English" community which settled in the Transvaal after Britain annexed the Boer Republic in 1877, and investigates its response when the British government restored Transvaal independence after the Boer uprising (the First Anglo-Boer War) of 1880-1. Since the security and prosperity of the Transvaal English depended upon maintenance of British rule, the alternative to fashioning a new colonial identity was to assert Britishness through an exaggerated loyalty to Crown and flag. "Loyal" inhabitants either fled the Transvaal during the Boer rebellion or took refuge in beleaguered towns. During the subsequent negotiations, the loyalists concluded that the Gladstone administration was sacrificing their interests, and organized to protest their allegiance and to claim compensation for losses. When the Pretoria Convention was nevertheless signed in August 1881, loyalists publicly buried the Union Jack - the very symbol of their British identity - to express their sense of outraged betrayal.

IN THIS PAPER THE AUTHOR I UNDERTAKES A LORENZTYPE EXAMINATION OF THE GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF FEDERAL FUNDS, BY CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, FOR FISCAL YEAR 1981. A SUBSTANTIAL INEQUALITY IN THE DISTRIBUTION IS REVEALED: THE LOWEST THIRTY PERCENT OF THE DISTRICTS RECEIVE A TOTAL OF ONLY ABOUT TEN PERCENT OF ALL FEDERAL EXPENDITURES WHILE THE TOP TEN PERCENT OF THE DISTRICTS GARNER NEARLY TWENTY-THREE PERCENT. ANALYSIS OF THE DETERMINANTS OF FEDERAL FUNDS APPROPRIATION REVEALS THAT THE RICHEST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS ARE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY RICHER, AND VICE-VERSA. POLITICAL INFLUENCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE IS SHOWN TO BE A STRONGLY SIGNIFICANT DETERMINING FACTOR IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF EXPENDITURES. IN SECTION 2, THE CATEGORIES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED BY HIS ARE DISCUSSED, AND THE AUTHOR PRESENTS THE PLOTTED LORENZ CURVE DISTRIBUTION OF THE FLOW OF FEDERAL FUNDS TO CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE SUCCESS IN OBTAINING A LARGER SHARE OF DISTRIBUTED FEDERAL FUNDS ARE ANALYZED IN SECTION 3, ON THEORETICAL, THEN EMPIRICAL GROUNDS. CONCLUDING COMMENTS WITH RESPECT TO PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES ARE OFFERED IN SECTION 4.

THIS PAPER REPRESENTS AN ATTEMPT TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE BASIC QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT A RELATIONSHIP EXISTS BETWEEN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AND POLITICAL STRUCTURE. THE QUESTION WAS FIRST SUGGESTED TO ME SEVERAL YEARS AGO IN A GRADUATE COURSE TAUGHT BY GORDON TULLOCK, WHO OFFERED AN A TO ANYONE WHO COULD 'SUCCESSFULLY' DICHOTOMIZE BETWEEN DEMOCRATIC AND DICTATORIAL POLITICAL REGIMES USING INDICES OF ECONOMIC WELL-BEING. AT THE TIME HE EXPECTED (HOPED) THAT DEMOCRACIES WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH ECONOMIC PROSPERITY TO A (MUCH) GREATER EXTENT THAN DICTATORSHIP WOULD BE.
