Differentiate the finite-volume magnetization:
$$
\frac d{dh}\langle\sigma_x^1\rangle_{\Lambda,\beta,h}
=\sum_{y\in V}
\left\{
\langle\cos\theta_x\cos\theta_y\rangle
-\langle\cos\theta_x\rangle\langle\cos\theta_y\rangle
\right\}.
$$
Every summand is nonnegative by the <Ginibre inequality> with $a=\mathbf1_x$ and $b=\mathbf1_y$. Hence the magnetization is nondecreasing for $h\geq0$.
