Monger is not often used anymore. The only way I've heard it in common usage is the phrase "fear-monger", meaning someone who spreads fear among people. In old books sometimes you read about a "fish-monger", a person who sells fish. I've never seen the word monger on it's own.

Other than "fear monger", the only other modern use of monger that I see at times is the word "war-monger". The idea is that someone wants to start a war.
