| 520 | _a"The Worship of the Golden Calf: A Story of Wage-Slavery in Massachusetts" by Charles Sheldon French is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The story explores the grim realities of wage slavery through the experiences of John Wycliff, a farm laborer struggling against the injustices perpetrated by powerful employers in New England. Central themes include the exploitation of workers, the moral corruption within the church, and societal inequality. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to John Wycliff, who faces not only financial hardship but personal turmoil as his sick child relies on him to provide for the family amidst severe wage cuts imposed by his employer, Jacob Sharp. The story paints a vivid picture of Wycliff's frustrations as he struggles against the deceit of Sharp, who withholds his wages and pressures him into subservience. Through Wycliff's interactions with Sharp and others in the community, the opening lays the groundwork for a larger commentary on social justice and the stark divide between the wealthy elite and the working class, setting the stage for the unfolding conflicts that will arise in their quest for dignity and fair treatment.
