With serene disregard of this protest Farr buttoned the coat, smoothed it down, and then straightened his shoulders. "You may see that it was built for a gentleman and that it fits a gentleman, friend pork-barrel." "You shuck it off and pass it over, that's what you do," yelped the tramp. "It's my coat." "It was perfectly apparent that it was not your coat when you tried it on."
"No sign of the big raft," said Sam, stooping to unfasten the hammer and packet of nails, after taking one quick, anxious glance round the horizon. "But it may be not far-off after all," said Slagg, kneeling down to aid his comrade, while Stumps, by that time recovered, assisted Robin to tighten the ropes that held the pork-barrel.
To be wet seemed to be the normal condition of man, and to carry a pork-barrel weighing 200 pounds over a rocky portage was but constitutional and exhilarating exercise such were the men with whom, on the evening of the 8th of August, I once more reached the neighbourhood' of the Rat Portage.
They've gone a good way, no doubt; but I think that even the Jonesville people yet feel their Americanism. What they need is leadership. Their Congressmen are poor, timid, pork-barrel creatures. Their governors are in training for the Senate. The Vice-President reads no official literature of the war, "because then I might have a conviction about it and that wouldn't be neutral." And so on.
Some of them have noble titles, but none of them is indispensible. We can get rid of each and every one of them. You know, it's time we rediscovered a home truth the American people have never forgotten: the government is too big and spends too much. And I call on Congress to adopt a measure that will help put an end to the annual ritual of filling the budget with pork-barrel appropriations.

The "pork-barrel" Senators and Congressmen felt for this body an instinctive, and perhaps from their standpoint a natural, hostility; and my successor a couple of months after taking office revoked the appointment and disbanded the Council.
"That," said 'Lias Mullins, "is Uncle Joe's pork-barrel. It's wuth a dollar fifty new, an that one's better 'n new." "I used to help Uncle Joe kill, every year," nodded Old Nat, "an' to put his meat away. I remember that bar'l as well as can be. I'll take it myself, if you don't want it. "Better keep your barrel," Westbury said. "You'll be wanting a pair of pigs next, and then you'll need it."
Only once did he fling out and bestow an unmerited blow on the pork-barrel. But, about daybreak, he began to sprawl, gradually working his way to the extreme edge of the raft, where a piece of wood, nailed there on purpose, prevented him from rolling off altogether. It did not, however, prevent his tossing one of his long legs over the edge, which he accordingly did. The leg and foot were naked.
"In the beef or pork-barrel, Sorrow?" said I. "Oh, Lord bless you, Massa, in needer; you knows de meaning ob dat are word I is sure you does dey made me most tosicated, Massa, and dey said, 'Sorrow, come preach ablution sarmon.

Well, dey gub me glass ob rum, and I swallowed it berry bad rum well, dat wouldn't do.
