The bulk of the novel is concerned with the problems currently faced by farmers followed by the campaign to bring about change, but it ends with a brief description of a populist eutopia. A central issue is the usury that regularly put farmers into permanent debt. This will be made illegal although old debts will have to be paid (201-02).
