>foo <- data.frame(c(1,1,1,1),c(2,2,2,2))
>bar <- data.frame(c(1,2,3,4),c(5,6,7,8))
>foo+bar
  c.1..1..1..1. c.2..2..2..2.
1             2             7
2             3             8
3             4             9
4             5            10

If your data frames are actually data frames, it should work.
>class(foo)
[1] "data.frame"
