Jobe Gaskins is a loyal Republican; his wife Betsy is a Democrat with strong opinions on gold, paper money and interest. When Jobe must raise $2,100 to save the farm, their kitchen arguments, his dreams in the spare bed and letters from a rich creditor turn the populist money question into a homespun comic story with a grim edge.
